Offset of posts archive ( pre_get_posts )

[Ben]

Hi
I have a hook that adds the latest 2 posts before the main list on blog archive (showing them large).

Is there a way to then offset the results below so that these 2 arent listed in the blog archive?

I’ve tried using pre_get_posts but it was giving strange results when clicking on the “Load more” button .

Can you recommend best way to do this, just on the blog archive, as I have a number of other CPT posts that I dont want effected.

Many thanks
Ben

Hi there,

offsetting the list of posts is a nightmare in WP – as it generally screws up the forward pagination, which also applies to Load More.

Can you share a link to the site so i can take a look if theres an alternative solution?

You can edit your original topic and use the Site URL field to share the link privately.

Ok – not got any new ideas.

We did try this offset method with another user – they had some difficulties but had a different setup – maybe give this a try:
