Pagination Alteration

I poked into the code:
in includes\shortcodes\posts.php
(ca. line 250)
– I added a reference to $paged.
– I added a reference to that in the args:

	$paged = ( get_query_var('paged') ) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
	$args = array(
		'category_name'  => '',
		'order'          => $order,
		'orderby'        => $orderby,
		'post_type'      => explode( ',', $post_type ),
		'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
		'paged'			 => $paged,
		'tag'            => $tag,
	);

To leave the code as close to the baseline as possible, I put in code to carry out the pagination:

function su_pager($query, $total_page) {
    global $paged;
	$paging = "";

	// do the pagination
    if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) {
        $paging .='<div class="page-navigation">'.wp_pagenavi(array('query' => $query, 'echo' => false)).'</div>';
    } else {
        $paging .='
        <span class="next-posts-links">'.get_next_posts_link('>', $total_page).'</span>
        <span class="prev-posts-links">'.get_previous_posts_link('<').'</span>
        ';
    }
	return $paging;
}

In the loops:

// Posts are found
if ( $posts->have_posts() ) {
	$posts_per_page = 10;
	$total_found_posts = $posts->found_posts;
	$total_page = ceil($posts / $posts_per_page);	
	
	while ( $posts->have_posts() ) {

… custom code….

`}
print ‘</ul>’;
print su_pager($posts, $total_page);
}
// Posts not found
else {
?>
<li><?php _e( ‘Nothing found’, ‘shortcodes-ultimate’ ) ?></li>
</ul>
<?php
}
?>`
