Offset posts/archive lists

  • I’ve been fiddling around with WordPress for a little while, I’m running MovableType for my personal site and I want to check out some alternatives
    One MT function I use quite a lot, for structure and breakdown, is the offset feature. Whereby, one can call a list of entries and offset the list by a number. For example <MTEntries lastn="10" offset="5">, which skips the last 5 entries and lists the 10 entries after that. I was wondering if there’s a feature like this in WordPress.

  • You can use the get_posts(); function.
    This accepts two parameters, numberposts and offset,
    so you can have
    <?php get_posts('numberposts=10&offset=5'); ?>
    to do what you described in wordpress.

    Thanks you!
    Clearly the documentation and I do not mix well. I was having such a hard time finding this reference.

    the documentation is under works… carthik adn the gang working hard.

    where exactly would you put that code: <?php get_posts('numberposts=15'); ?>
    in order to limit the # of posts to 15 when you click on any category?
    i posted this question already and then spent 3 hours looking for possible answers ??
    if this is the answer- then all i need to know is where to put it to make it work for categories.

    Somebody (the persons nick was “somebody”) gave me the answer on irc- all I had to do was goto options and reading-
    and under the Front PageShow the most recent: put 15 and then choose posts paged
