the blog page is done with a custom page template with the file name template-blog-php;
did you edit that template?
your theme is a child theme of the ‘Hathor’ theme, and that template is in that thame.
it actually has a call to a function for pagination, however, this function is not properly installed to work for the custom query in the blog page, nor to work with the ‘wp-pagenavi’ plugin.
create a copy of the file pagination.php in your child theme (‘Hapy’), and edit it there;
example code which might work:
<!-- pagination -->
<?php if( is_page_template( 'template-blog.php' ) ) :
// allow for the custom query in the page template //
global $the_query;
if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) :
wp_pagenavi( array( 'query' => $the_query ) );
else :
?>
<div class="wp-pagenavi">
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('« '.__('Older posts','hathor'), $the_query->max_num_pages ) ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link(__('Newer posts','hathor').' »', $the_query->max_num_pages ) ?></div>
</div>
<?php endif;
else:
// for the default query index and archive pages //
if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) :
wp_pagenavi();
else :
?>
<div class="wp-pagenavi">
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('« '.__('Older posts','hathor')) ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link(__('Newer posts','hathor').' »') ?></div>
</div>
<?php endif;
endif; ?>
<!-- /pagination -->
to alert the theme’s developer about the problem, please post your question in https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hapy and in https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hathor
Thank you so much! No, I didn’t edit “template-blog-php.” I wouldn’t know to try that, how to do that, what it even means, but I will give it a go, thanks!
Because of my inexperience (being a TOTAL newbie), I was unable to figure out how to use your code, Michael, but I TRULY thank you for the help! I was able to contact the theme’s developer through his webpage. He responded:
You can try this plugin :

Or need to buy pro version
Thanks
I wasn’t confident with this recommended plugin since it hasn’t been updated in 4 years and is not tested with my theme, so instead I simply hid the page that wasn’t working right on my blog. (It’s still there; viewers just can’t see it.) It’s a suitable fix for my simple website.
Thank you again!
