 When doing a custom WP_Query and loop, I found odd behavior with paged
 content on pages > 1.

 For example, my custom loop worked great on page 1 of a paged post -
 properly showing content from the page I was querying. However, on pages 2
 and 3 of the paged post, my custom loop showed the content from the
 currently displayed page of the post.

 Example code:

 Not working--

 {{{

 global $post;
 $about_query = new WP_Query('pagename=about');
 while ($about_query->have_posts()) {
         $about_query->the_post();
         $about_text = get_the_excerpt();
 }

 }}}

 Working--

 {{{

 global $post, $wp_query;
 $page = $wp_query->query_vars['page'];
 // temporary - resetting below
 $wp_query->query_vars['page'] = null;
 $about_query = new WP_Query('pagename=about');
 while ($about_query->have_posts()) {
         $about_query->the_post();
         $about_text = get_the_excerpt();
 }
 $wp_query->query_vars['page'] = $page;

 }}}
