I had the same issue. Check out if this works for you: <?php $paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1; $per_page = 9; $default_offset = 4; if ($paged == 1) { $offset = $default_offset; } else { $offset = (($paged – 1) * $per_page) + $default_offset; } $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘posts_per_page’ => … Read more
Do you mean you want to display three blocks of four related posts, and flip between the three blocks using scrollable? If so, does the below help (not tested)? Assuming scrollable needs its content in separate divs, you could do something like this. It should produce a containing div with up to three divs inside, … Read more
I can’t use only one Loop because of how complicated my markup is. Markup, no matter how complicated, should never ever be a valid basis when coming to deciding to run multiple loops. Multiple loops should only ever be used if there is absolutely no other means to achieve a certain result, and that is … Read more
You are going about this the hard way, and the less efficient way. You already have a Loop on the page. You should be able to use that and that alone. if (have_posts()) { while (have_posts()) { the_post(); if (6 < $wp_query->current_post) { // formatting for your first six posts } else { // formatting … Read more
Reason of this behavior is pretty simple. First of all you have to know that get_posts uses WP_Query to get posts. So let’s look at WP_Query implementation. On line 1998 of query.php you can find: if ( $q[‘posts_per_page’] == -1 ) { $q[‘nopaging’] = true; Then on line 2544 of query.php you find: if ( … Read more
The offset index for WP_Query generally works with pagination. When you set pagination to a -1 the function assumes you’re getting all posts and there will be no pagination or offset. So to counteract this you would set the posts_per_page to a high number like 999. Reading the Function Reference on WP_Query the pagination section … Read more
Case #1: Simple Offset You want to ‘offset’ posts of a category archive by ‘n’, i.e. you simply don’t want to show the first/latest ‘n’ posts in an archive. That is, (considering the posts_per_page setting in WP Dashboard > Settings > Reading is set to 10) you want posts 11 to 20 to be shown … Read more
This is quite an interesting question (which I have upvoted, specially for your approach and research). The big curveball here is the first page of the query: You cannot set the query to return 0 posts on the first page By moving the page content of every page up by one page, you will loose … Read more
