Paginate pages with dynamic query
I was going to create my own question and answer it, but this looks as good a place as any. The way I solved this, is by using $_SESSION. Keep in mind I am using infinite-scroll, so I can tell when the page is being fetched via ajax as opposed to being actually navigated to … Read more

Getting images from media library and get_the_date() not working
get_the_date depends on the global $post variable. It is a bit hard to tell that that is the case but if you look at the source for get_the_date you’ll see that it uses get_post and it assumes $post if no other parameters are given.

Moreover $taxonomy is the first argument and do nothing in the $args array (second argument). … Read more
