Post Loop Offset

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi folks,

I have created a set of 12 posts using the Post Loop 2 element and saved it as my own element, but when adding it further down the same page and setting the Offset Posts to 13 nothing happens. Offsetting has worked on another test pages, but not this one.

Is there a limit as to how far I can offset? On this page, I have used the same saved element 5 times, but none of them seem to work.

General > Limit Post Number: 12
Layout > Modules per Row: 3

Offset Posts: section 1: empty
Offset Posts: section 2: 13
Offset Posts: section 3: 25
Offset Posts: section 4: 37
Offset Posts: section 5: 49

Please can you let me know what I am missing because all I did was add your original Post Loop 2 element, set it to how I liked it, and then saved the element as my own.

Thanks : )

I just set section 1 to Offset 13 and it worked, but unfortunately all of the other elements down the page look the same.

So, it’s telling me that I can’t add my saved element and continue with Offsetting, I have to created a separate set of 12 Post Loops.

Is that correct or can I get around that without creating more saved elements of the same thing?

Thanks : )

UPDATE: I just tried that. I created 5 of the same element, changed the Offset for each one and saved each of them, but that idea didn’t work ??‍♂️

FYI – I have placed an image / ad in between each of the elements (3×4=12 posts). I can’t see why that would stop them all from working with Offset.

Hello!

I recommend you not to use more than one Posts Loop per page. For example you can use Flex Block elements. If you have 2 flex blocks with the same settings and they are displaying the same posts, then you can use an offset and a limit for the flex blocks. For example: 1 block with the limit posts: 2 and the second one with the limit posts: 2 and offset: 2, if you would like the 3rd one then you set limit posts: 2 and offset 4, etc.

Thank you!
