 * Unfortunately Offset parameter does not working for me, is it a bug or i’m doing
   something wrong?
    my shortcode: [display-posts image_size=”thumbnail” offset=”
   3″ wrapper=”div” wrapper_class=”display-posts-listing grid” meta_key=”_thumbnail_id”]

 * Your shortcode looks correct to me. I have a few ideas for what might be wrong:
 * 1. If you have sticky posts, I don’t believe the offset will exclude them because
   they are “stuck” to the front. First WordPress will do its query for most recent
   posts (offset by 3), then it will add the sticky posts to the front of those 
   results. You can add `ignore_sticky_posts="true"` to exclude the sticky posts(
   [more information](https://displayposts.com/2019/01/09/display-or-hide-sticky-posts/)).
 * 2. There could be a theme or plugin conflict – something else that’s modifying
   your WordPress queries. You can use the Health Check plugin to troubleshoot (
   [here’s how](https://displayposts.com/2019/04/20/using-health-check-plugin-to-find-theme-and-plugin-conflicts/)).
 * I hope that helps.
