Keep Pagination in Tabs

Use the following extension to the WP_Query class.

The extension only takes your arguments as an array, rather than a string format.

You’ll to add individual values for “page_link” for each of your tabs. This should just be a string (“tab1”, “tab2” etc etc)

Then you’ll need to use the $my_query->next() and $my_query->prev() to add page turning links to each tab.

        if(array_key_exists('page_link',$args)) $this->page_link['page_link'];

        $args['offset'] = (isset($_GET[$this->page_link])?($_GET[$this->page_link]-1)*$args['posts_per_page']:0);
        parent::query($args);
    }
