Skipping first 3 posts in wp query

For skipping the post just use offset parameter in wp_query.

To display latest three post :

<?php
$latestpost = new WP_Query('order=asc&orderby=meta_value&meta_key=date&posts_per_page=3');

//Here add loop to display posts like

while($latestpost->have_posts()) : $latestpost->the_post();

the_title();

the_content();

endwhile; wp_reset_query();

//After that skip three posts using offset

 $latestpost = new WP_Query('order=asc&orderby=meta_value&meta_key=date&posts_per_page=6&offset=3&paged=' . $paged); 

the_title();

the_content();

endwhile; wp_reset_query();

?>

That’s it
