# Missing Post Offset setting in Widgets

 * I’m testing the free version of ColorMag as a possible replacement for another
   popular magazine Theme, but struggling with the Widgets – if I use the Featured
   Posts Style 1 at the top for my most recent Posts (regardless of category) and
   the Style 2 for the three columns below (choosing a category for each) as is 
   a very common layout on magazine sites, the ‘recent’ Posts are duplicated because
   there is no Post Offset setting that is common with other Themes….
 * Is this just not a feature of the free version? I cannot find any info on on 
   using a Post Offset to avoid duplicated Posts on a home page in your documentation
   for the Pro version, but this is such a basic need that I’m surprised to not 
   find it in the free version.
 * How does ColorMag avoid duplicated Posts on a widgetized Home Page?

 * Hey [@trisham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trisham/) ,
 * I apologize for the delay.
 * Avoiding duplicate posts is an important feature of Colormag Pro. We have implemented
   it in the pro version of our theme. Could you please contact us via our live 
   chat by going to ThemeGrill’s site so that we can discuss it in detail as we 
   are not allowed to do so in this public forum as per the guidelines provided 
   by .org?

 * Hey Bikalpa, thank you for responding. I will mark this as resolved so it doesn’t
   negatively impact your support rating, but honestly I think post_offset is such
   a basic loop feature that it should be included in your free version. Every other
   magazine-style Theme I’ve tested includes it in theirs, for the most part the
   additional features you get by upgrading to a Pro level include more style options(
   fonts & colors) as well as additional widgets and page templates.
 * But for a widgetized home page to not have a way to avoid duplicated posts by
   not including post_offset as a widget option makes no sense to me.
