 * Hi. Is it possible to set OFFSET parameter? It would be useful to display skipping
   posts, for example, hide first post of given shortcode.

 * Offset is already a supported parameter. To offset by 2 posts, use:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       [display-posts offset="2"]
       ```
   
 * If you’re having issues with the query not actually offsetting it, there could
   be [a conflict with your theme or a plugin](https://displayposts.com/2019/04/20/using-health-check-plugin-to-find-theme-and-plugin-conflicts/).

 * It seems like when I use the offset parameter, it is skipping over my first 15
   blog posts under all categories. I would like it to skip over the first 15 of
   the category that I specify in the shortcode (so, sort be category first THEN
   offset the posts). Is this possible?
