Thank you. My problem is fixed ??

How about just limiting the characters shown? by NOT using excerpt, is there a way around?

I have seen the problem… I don’t know if this code doesn’t close its own loop? Cause it continuous on outside it’s loop. Can anyone help me with this, thank you.

<ul>
<?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

<?php the_excerpt(__('(more…)')); ?>
<?php endwhile;?>
</ul>

I am not changing any theme, I am just placing that php code and I just need some help in editing it, cause I am not a dev.

BUT my problem is, that code works and your code also but it also takes effect on the main post list, in which my current post becomes invisible.

I used the php code I posted here on a widget, using PHP EXEC plugin. Cause I wanted it to run on my sidebar, Im customizing my own theme.

I hope you understand.

I don’t get it right.
you change the <?php query_posts into <?php wp_query ?

and add the &offset=1 value?

is that add or change into?

will I changed the line?

It works, but it also affects the posts in the homepage.

I think I have posted a wrong code…
Here’s the new one.

<ul>
<?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

<?php the_excerpt(__('(more…)')); ?>
<?php endwhile;?>
</ul>

Again, Thank you.

Thank you MichaelH!
