Post Carousel Offset Not Working

Thank you for creating this extra code. Actually, this is going into the right direction. I would say we are half way there. The actual post is now in the middle of the carousel, which is great. However, the order of the posts from 1-12 is no longer there. See here:
https://metawende.de/lebensbereich-werte/

‘Werte’ is the second post (based on ID) and ‘Individualit?t’ is the first, should also be left from ‘Werte’. Then, because there is still one slot left, it should to be post 12. Please see this URL for the order of all the 12 posts:
https://metawende.de/manifest/

Here are some outlines on how the result should work:
Current post: 5 -> Display: 3,4,5,6,7
Current post: 9 -> Display: 7,8,9,10,11
Current post: 1 -> Display: 11,12,1,2,3
Current post: 12 -> Display: 10,11,12,1,2
So, the order of the post is kept, it just shifts the viewpoint of the 5 posts in the carousel.

After a few hours and with the help of ChatGPT I found the solution:

	$my_array = array(38448,38504,38521,38942,38976,38981,38990,39002,39006,39010,39013,39017);
	$current_post_id = $post->ID;
	$shift = array_search($current_post_id, $my_array)-2;

    if (is_array($query) && count($query) >= 5) {
    	$sliced_posts = array_slice( $query, 0, $shift );
    	$remaining_posts = array_slice( $query, $shift );
    	$query = array_merge( $remaining_posts, $sliced_posts );
    }

    return $query;

I could add a custom field to my posts and add the numbers 1-12 to make it simpler. But this also works. Thank you for your help and support! Awesome

Hi @herold

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to follow up on the code you were working with and offer suggestions for improvement.

In the code below, there is a calculation that involves dividing by 2 and then rounding up or down depending on the setup:

$_first_half = array_slice( $query, 0, $_current_index - 2 );
$_last_half = array_slice( $query, $_current_index - 2 );

If you change your setup from 5 to 7, you need to change the value from 2 to (7/2 = 3.5 means round to 3).
