Paginate remove query condition

The paginate method is a wrapper for get methods.
When the get method is called, all query data is reset. This is normal.
Yes, you need to create a query each time.
But you can put the query in a separate method and call it.
Like this:

PHP Code:

public function myPostModelMethod()
{
    return $this->select()....; 
}
$some = $this->post->myPostModelMethod()->like()->paginate();
$some2 = $this->post->myPostModelMethod()->like()->paginate();
