I am using JetPack’s Infinite Scroll for the post display with updated args for the display of posts.

To update the post display on different pages I want to be able to control the category of the posts that are displayed. Here is the code:

function mm_infinite_scroll_query_args($args) {
   if ( get_field('page_cat') ) {
    $page_cat = get_field('page_cat');
        $new_args = array(
            'posts_per_page'   => $args['posts_per_page'],
            'paged'   => $args['paged'],
            'orderby'          => 'date',
            'order'            => 'DESC',
            'cat'    => $page_cat,
            'post_type'        => array( 'post', 'features', 'it_hardware', 'videos' ),
            'post_status'      => 'publish',
        );
        return $new_args;
     else {

        $new_args = array(
            'posts_per_page'   => $args['posts_per_page'],
            'paged'   => $args['paged'],
            'orderby'          => 'date',
            'cat'    => 5,
            'order'            => 'DESC',
            'post_type'        => array( 'post', 'features', 'it_hardware', 'videos' ),
            'post_status'      => 'publish',
        );
        return $new_args;
    }

}

Because infinite scroll runs off the page the code is all in the functions.php file hence why I want to access a field on the page which links to the loop arguments.
