Pagination for custom loop on custom page template is not displaying anything

Harman, don’t use get_posts() when pagination is required. You may also accomplish this task using WP_Query.

Refer to this answer explained beautifully by Chip Bennett at

How to fix pagination for custom loops?

    <?php $user_fav = get_user_favorites($user_id); 
      $paged = ( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
       $args = array(
        'posts_per_page'   => 4,
        'post_type'        => array('communityposts','post','video'),
        'post__in'         => $user_fav,
        'post_status'      => 'publish',
        'suppress_filters' => true ,
        'paged'            => $paged
      );
      $loop = new WP_Query( $args );
      $temp_query = $wp_query;
      $wp_query   = NULL;
      $wp_query   = $loop;
      if( $loop->have_posts()):while($loop->have_posts()):$loop->the_post(); 
    ?>
