Here’s how I recommend using the class.
<ol>
<li>Either activate this plugin, or include the class in your own plugin file.</li>
<li>When you start to render the page with the post list, instantiate the pagination class, using an argument array if you’d like: $pargs = array( ‘get_per_page_key’ => ‘perpage’, ‘get_paged_key’ => ‘current_page’, ‘per_page’ => 15 ); $pagination = new BBG_CPT_Pag( $args );</li>
<li>When constructing your query arguments (for query_posts() or WP_Query), you can use the class to get your pagination arguments out of the $_GET parameters. For instance: $args = array( … ‘posts_per_page’ => $pagination->get_per_page, ‘paged’ => $pagination->get_paged … ); query_posts( $args );</li>
<li>After firing the query, use the <code>setup_query()</code> method to populate the rest of the class. If you used <code>query_posts()</code>, you don’t need an argument: $pagination->setup_query(); If you use <code>new WP_Query</code>, you’ll have to pass the query object: $my_query = new WP_Query; $pagination->setup_query( $my_query );</li>
<li>Then you can use all sorts of fun methods, like $pagination->paginate_links(); $pagination->currently_viewing_text();</li>
</ol>

Infinite scroll has been called autopagerize, unpaginate, endless pages. But essentially it is pre-fetching content from a subsequent page and adding it directly to the user’s current page.
When a user scrolls towards the bottom of the page, the next page of posts is automatically retrieved and appended. This means they never need to click “Next Page”, which dramatically increases stickiness.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Works out-of-the-box for many popular WordPress themes — just activate the plugin and scroll</li>
<li>Fully customizable to adapt to your site and theme</li>
<li>Requires no (hopefully) template hacking, only a knowledge of CSS selectors.</li>
<li>Relies on shared database of common themes to simplify installation process</li>
<li>Maintain local database of theme presets for all installed themes (shared across network on multisite installs)</li>
<li>Countless API endpoints to modify the behavior.</li>
<li>Backwards compatible: Will not break RSS readers, mobile devices, or browsers with javascript</li>
</ul>
