Smart list that skips the first item and starts count from the second

Hello,

I have a post with Smart list 7. I need to add some intro before the smart list starts, but if I do that, then the first smart item is visible under the intro paragraph (screenshot 1). I don’t want that. I want the intro to be visible on the first page and on click on Next button, on the second page to see the first smart item. In order smart list to start from the second page, I have added a fake first smart item, but then the first smart item that I need becomes second (screenshot 2). Is there a way to add some intro text before smart list and smart list to start from the second page (screenshot 3) or can I control where counting of the smart list starts (in my case from second smart item to start counting 1, 2, 3,…)?

Another option to consider is if we have one paragraph before smart list, that is visible only on the first page, before smart item 1 and is not visible on the rest of the pages?

I solved the second option, with paragraph only on the first page of smart list with this CSS code

body[class*="paged"][class*="single"] .category-reviews .td-post-content > p {
	display: none;
}

.category-reviews is a class based on category where I use this rule.

Hi,
having the same issue. I want the first page to be a description of the smart list with a button “start slideshow” then it goes to the first element..

The code from OP helped me but it still shoes the first element on the first page, I’d really like to have only the description and then start with slide 1 on the next page.

Any way to do this?

I mean like this:

Thanks,

I have made a very hacky approach inspired by OP, I am hiding the numbering of the list elements and make the description the first element, but I hide the headline of only the first element.. if that makes sense.

.td-sml-current-item-nr{
display: none !important;
}

body:not([class*=”paged”]) .td-sml-current-item-title {
display: none !important;
}

that way the first list element becomes the description and because I have hidden the default numbering of the items I can number them myself and display what is actually the second element as the first page of the slideshow.. man I’m drunk I hope anything I write makes sense lol.

it does get the job done but very hacky.. I’m going to keep an eye on this thread in hope for a better solution.

Thanks,
