Error wordpress paging (after second page) using custom template

Question

I made a custom page to show the blog post files, but would like to add pagination. When I make the pagination I can see only the first page, from the second page and all the next ones are not shown the posts. I am not used any plugin. Code below:

**query**
        $postStatus = 'publish';
        $postPerPage = 1;
        $pageType = is_page() ? 'page' : 'paged';
        $paged = (get_query_var($pageType) ? get_query_var($pageType) : 1);

        $args = array(
            'post_type'=> $postType,
            'post_status'=> $postStatus,
            'posts_per_page' => $postPerPage,
            'paged' => $paged
        );
        $query = new WP_Query($args); ?>

blog loop

             ?php if($query->have_posts() ) : while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post(); ?>
                <?php if(has_post_thumbnail()) : 
                    $url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID) );?>
                    <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-6 col-lg-4">
                        <div class="post">
                            <a class="link" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" alt="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
                                <div class="post-thumbnail bg" style="background-image: url(<?php echo $url ?>"></div>
                                <p class="text"><?php the_title(); ?></p>
                            </a>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                <?php endif; ?>
            <?php 
            endwhile; 
            if(function_exists('pagination')) {
                pagination($query, $pageType); 
            }
            wp_reset_postdata(); 
            endif ?>

Paging function in functions.php

       function pagination($query, $pageType) {
        $big = 999999999;
        $maxNumPages = $query->max_num_pages;

        print_r($pageType);
        print_r($maxNumPages);

        echo "<nav class='pagination'>";
            echo paginate_links( array(
                'base'         => str_replace($big, '%#%', esc_url(get_pagenum_link($big))),
                'total'        => $maxNumPages,
                'current'      => max(1, get_query_var($pageType)),
                'format'       => '?' . $pageType . '=%#%',
                'show_all'     => false,
                'type'         => 'plain',
                'end_size'     => 2,
                'mid_size'     => 1,
                'prev_next'    => true,
                'prev_text'    => sprintf('<i></i> %1$s', __('«', 'text-domain' )),
                'next_text'    => sprintf('%1$s <i></i>', __('»', 'text-domain' )),
                'add_args'     => false,
                'add_fragment' => '',
            ));
        echo "</nav>";
    }

Error url my-url/wordpress/page/2/

I’ve done several searches and checked the code and could not find the source of this error, I’m using the version 5.2.2. of Wordpress.

The solution was to change the way posts per page (posts per page):

query

$postStatus = 'publish';
    $postPerPage = 1;
    $pageType = is_page() ? 'page' : 'paged';
    $paged = (get_query_var($pageType) ? get_query_var($pageType) : 1);

    $args = array(
        'post_type'=> $postType,
        'post_status'=> $postStatus,
        'paged' => $paged
    );
    $query = new WP_Query($args); ?>

functions.php

function setPostsPerPage($query) {
    $query->set('posts_per_page', 6);

    if (!is_admin() && $query->is_main_query()) {
      if(is_home()){
        $query->set('posts_per_page', 1);
      }
    }
}

add_action('pre_get_posts', 'setPostsPerPage');

function pagination($query, $pageType) {
    $big = 999999999;
    $maxNumPages = $query->max_num_pages;

    echo "<nav class='pagination'>";
        echo paginate_links( array(
            'base'         => str_replace($big, '%#%', esc_url(get_pagenum_link($big))),
            'total'        => $maxNumPages,
            'current'      => max(1, get_query_var($pageType)),
            'format'       => '?' . $pageType . '=%#%',
            'show_all'     => false,
            'type'         => 'plain',
            'end_size'     => 2,
            'mid_size'     => 1,
            'prev_next'    => true,
            'prev_text'    => sprintf('<i></i> %1$s', __('«', 'text-domain' )),
            'next_text'    => sprintf('%1$s <i></i>', __('»', 'text-domain' )),
            'add_args'     => false,
            'add_fragment' => '',
        ));
    echo "</nav>";
}
