Paginate Advanced Custom Fields results in WordPress

Question

I'm currently using the 'Advanced Custom Field' WordPress plugin, and I'm wondering if it's possible to paginate my results.

Here is the code I'm using on a custom page template:

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> 

<?php
$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 5, 'meta_key' => 'course_date', 'order'=> 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'meta_value', 'category' => 2 );
$postslist = get_posts( $args );
foreach ( $postslist as $post ) :
setup_postdata( $post ); ?>

<!--- CONTENT --->  

<?php
endforeach; 
wp_reset_postdata();
?>

Yes, paginate the "results" if there are more than 5 posts for example. — coursequestion, Dec 17 '14 at 09:57
why you added advance custom filed in your question? there seems no any connection with ACf — anstrangel0ver, Dec 17 '14 at 10:13
The results are currently ordered by "course_date" which is a ACF entry. The displayed posts are pulled from Category 2. — coursequestion, Dec 17 '14 at 10:19

You have to use WP_Query class http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

    <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> 

<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 5, 'meta_key' => 'course_date', 'order'=> 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'meta_value', 'cat' => 2 ,'paged'=>$paged);
$catpost_ = new WP_Query( $args );
if ($catpost_->have_posts() ) : 
    while ($catpost_->have_posts() ) : $catpost_->the_post();

 ?>

<!--- CONTENT --->
<?php
 endwhile; 
 endif;
 wp_reset_query();?>
<?php
            $big=76;
        $args = array(
'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
'format'       => '?paged=%#%',
'total'        => $catpost_->max_num_pages,
'current'      => $paged,
'prev_next'    => True,
    'prev_text'    => __('Previous'),
    'next_text'    => __('Next'),

'type'         => 'list');
// ECHO THE PAGENATION 
echo paginate_links( $args );
endwhile;
?>

this might work for you.

Great, that paginates everything nicely. However, it seems to pull in ALL posts, instead of posts from a certain category. Thanks a lot for your help – coursequestion Dec 17 '14 at 10:42
if this solve your problem mark your answer as correct. this will help me get reputation :p – anstrangel0ver Dec 17 '14 at 10:43
Done, thanks again for your help. Quick question regarding the category, would it be possible to display posts from a certain category - rather than all of them? – coursequestion Dec 17 '14 at 10:55
My mistake. I can use 'cat' rather than 'category'. – coursequestion Dec 17 '14 at 10:59
