    Hi,
    On my site I have a slider with first 4 lastest posts – i’d like the slider to display only on first page
    after the slider i’d like to have posts number 5,6,7,8,9,10 – so my question is how

    on the second page, i’d like to have second 10 posts….and so on..

    currently i have slider on each page on index and 10posts after it. So i have slider with post number 1,2,3,4 and than again post 1,2,3,4 and the six other..

    can anyone help me please?

    This will require changes to your code. You might get some help if you put the code in a pastebin and post a link to it here.

    i tried something with query-post, but using offset always breaks my pagination…i know it’s a known issue of wordpress, so i tried to implement some solutions i googled, but i’m obviously doing something wrong, because i can’t dela with the broken pagination…

    can somebody please help me implement offset=5, showpost=6 for the first page for my theme?

    See if this will work. Change this:

    <div id="content-body">

<?php do_shortcode('[upzslider]'); ?>

<?php if (function_exists('wp_snap')) { echo wp_snap(); } ?>

<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) { yoast_breadcrumb('<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>'); } ?>
<?php query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-5'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    to this:

    <div id="content-body">

<?php
$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
if ($page == 1) do_shortcode('[upzslider]');
?>

<?php if (function_exists('wp_snap')) { echo wp_snap(); } ?>

<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) { yoast_breadcrumb('<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>'); } ?>
<?php query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-5'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
   if ($page == 1 && ++$post_count < 6) continue;
?>

    thanks for your help!

    the first page seems allright now, but i’m getting the second page blank – no posts, only navigation buttons in the content

    Don’t know why that is happening. Take out this line and tell me the results:

    if ($page == 1 && ++$post_count < 6) continue;

    10 posts on every site….
    so on the first page is slider(posts ##1234] and first 10 posts (##12345678910), second page is working…

    Also tags were not working properly with that line. When I tried to display posts with tag, that was used in a post, that was not on the first page, I got an empty page.

    So the problem is with that line. The ‘$page == 1’ part seems to work, so maybe $post_count is a reserved variable. Try changing to this:

    if ($page == 1 && ++$my_post_count < 6) continue;

    same problem…
    seems $post_count and $my_post_count are working too, they just work somehow for the whole index and not only for the first page of the index…

    For some reason, I can’t see your replies in the forum.

    When you take the line out, do you see the slider on only the first page?

    yes, the slider is fine…

    Sorry, but I cannot see what is wrong.

    One last guess: change all $page to $my_page.

    I don’t think that is the problem, but it is worth a try.

    Heh, it’s working now! Thanks very much!

    only the tags are still broken.

    when i try f.e. http://www.example.com/tag/video/
    and no post on the first page is tagged with video, i get a blank page – there’s not even the message like “sorry, but you’re searching something that is not here”, that i get if the tag was not used at all..

    can i make something like tag.php, like what you can do with categories?

    See if this will work:

    <?php
$my_page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
if ($my_page == 1) do_shortcode('[upzslider]');
?>

<?php if (function_exists('wp_snap')) { echo wp_snap(); } ?>

<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) { yoast_breadcrumb('<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>'); } ?>
<?php query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-5'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
   if (is_front_page() && $my_page == 1 && ++$my_post_count < 6) continue;
?>
