# Exclude posts from loop

 * My site has four different post categories. On the home page I have it set up
   so that it shows the most recent post for each, followed by the PageNavi navigation
   for subsequent pages.
 * — New Post Cat 1 —
    — New Post Cat 2 — — New Post Cat 3 — — New Post Cat 4 —
 * But here’s where my problem is. On pages 2 and up I just want to pull up all 
   posts, regardless of their category, and exclude the posts shown on the home 
   page. I can do all of that but the excluding part.
 * So I guess my question is, how to I exclude the first post from each category
   in the loop? Is that possible? Offset doesn’t work. Is there maybe some way to
   pass a variable? I did try $do_not_duplicate_event = $post->ID; but that doesn’t
   seem to work for paged loops…
 * Anyone have an idea? Thanks!

 * Hi Jess,
 * You should take a look at the [Loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop) Codex
   article, specially the “Multiple Loops in Action” section. I’m sure you’ll find
   what you are looking for there.
 * Cheers!
