Offset Posts

    I’m not sure if I’ve missed it but there does not seem to be an option to offset posts.

    You really need it if building frontpages, especially on news type sites. So you might have 3 top stories from a category up top then more from the same below. But you need those to be offset by 3 so you do not end up with the same posts twice on the page.

    Can this be added or is it already possible?

    Wordpress supports it via $query->set( ‘offset’, ‘1’ .

    Thanks

    Hello @jwray1420 ,

    Offset has a drawback, It doesn’t work with the pagination.

    offset (int) – number of post to displace or pass over. Warning: Setting the offset parameter overrides/ignores the paged parameter and breaks pagination. The ‘offset’ parameter is ignored when ‘posts_per_page’=>-1 (show all posts) is used.

    We may add this option with some notice.

    Best regards!

    Hi,

    For sure, but on a homepage unlikely to use pagination. Very handy to have if you can add it at some point.

    Thanks

    Hello @jwray1420,

    I cannot agree on a point that homepage unlikely to use pagination, we are also using pagination on the magazine demo 1. Load More, Navigation and Pagination all use paged arguments on the query.
    I agree that Offset will be useful in some cases like you are trying to obtain. We will add it to the next version with some notice.
    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Best Regards!

    HI, oh that’s great – thanks! Though I don’t think it is working just now, we have it up on a test site and the offset is not doing anything.
