How to skip the first post?

  • Hey, I tried searching everywhere but I can’t find a good answer, how can I skip the latest post so it just shows the 2nd latest, etc.

    I assume I have to modify <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> to some extent?

    Thanks in advance!

    Could you not just do:

    <?php
if(have_posts())
{
     the_post();
     while(have_posts())
     {
          the_post();
          //Do whatever you need to here.
     }
}
?>

    sorry I’m pretty new to this, what exactly would I have to put in to make it skip the first post though?

    <?php
query_posts('offset=1');
if(have_posts())
{
     the_post();
     while(have_posts())
     {
          the_post();
          //Do whatever you need to here.
     }
}
?>

    Just add the above code instead of your code.

    Thanks

    To make it skip a post I think you just call the_post(); before entering your while loop. Each time you call the_post(); it gets the information of the next post.

    Okay. Then just add the following code.

    <?php
query_posts('offset=1');
if(have_posts())
?>

offset=1 indicates, which post you have to exclude.

    If this don’t work, add the code which I have added in my previous reply.

    Thanks

    Thanks Thejas, adding “query_posts(‘offset=1’);” worked great
