 * Hi,
 * I’m creating my own forum plugin (primarily as a php/WordPress API learning exercise).
   The plugin inserts forums via a [forums] shortcode. It was going well, but I’ve
   hit a couple of snags… One is pagination.
 * Inserting a custom post type via a shortcode seems to break the normal pagination.
   This approach by Chris Coyier (for example), doesn’t seem to work:

 * Any ideas how I could adapt Chris Coyier’s code to get the pagination to work?
 * Your help would be much appreciated!
 * Andy
