Reset Pagination on Wordpress

Question

wp_reset_postdata and wp_reset_query restores global $post variable. How do I reset $paged variable which is used in pagination?

OR

How can I get back to www.example.com/page/1 from any page like www.example.com/page/32?

Answer 1

I do this on my site by doing this

$wp_query->set('paged', 1);

where $wp_query is your WP_Query object you're querying. You would do this AFTER you defined $wp_query in your code.
