 * 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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jwray1420/) ,
 * Offset has a drawback, It doesn’t work with the [pagination](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#pagination-parameters).
 * > 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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jwray1420/),
 * I cannot agree on a point that homepage unlikely to use pagination, we are also
   using pagination on the [magazine demo 1](https://www.demo.cosmoswp.com/demo-17/).
   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.
