 * Hi All –
 * So I’m using this for pagination:
 *     ```
       function html5wp_pagination()
       {
           global $wp_query;
           $big = 999999999;
           echo paginate_links(array(
               'base' => str_replace($big, '%#%', get_pagenum_link($big)),
               'format' => '?paged=%#%',
               'current' => max(1, get_query_var('paged')),
               'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages
           ));
       }
       ```
   
 * The only problem is that this creates an empty pagination div if there is no 
   pagination. Is there an if argument I can use to not output the pagination div
   if there is no pagination?
 * Thanks
    John

 * Got my answer…
 * If anyone was wondering, just use this:
 *     ```
       <?php 
   
            global $paginated_query;
            global $wp_query;
   
            if ( !$paginated_query ):
             $paginated_query = $wp_query;
            endif;
   
            if ( $paginated_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?>
       ```
