title: How to add wordpress pagination to an existing array of pages?
body: <p>I have searched for some time on this issue and come up blank, so hopefully someone can help me. </p>
  
  <p>I am putting together an Events page within a custom theme that is divided into two sections: "upcoming events", and "past events" (archive). I have successfully managed to pull in all of the posts of the category, "events" and then divide them into two arrays based on the "event-date" post_meta entered for each, but I need one of these arrays ($past_events) to be paginated. </p>
  
  <p>I am comfortable using pagination in general, and have no problem using offsets and whatnot, but I don't know how to add the "paged" attribute to an array that does not already have it set. </p>
  
  <p>Is this possible? Or will I have to run a new query, compare the results to those in $past_events, and do something crazy with the offset value??</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
