[Support request] Pagination Repeating Posts Problem

Hi there,

Do you have multiple WPSP list on the same page? Any chance you could link us to the page in question to check what happens? Let us know.

Yes, I have an offset of 1. This is what I bought WP Show Posts Pro for. I want to have the most recent post on the homepage, and the rest of the posts, minus the most recent, on the blog page (Writing).

Why have offsets if you can’t use them?

The offset can be used for multiple post lists with no paginations on any of them.

This is actually a WordPress core issue. See their statement here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Making_Custom_Queries_using_Offset_and_Pagination

But to solve your specific issue, here’s a workaround:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'writing_page_WPSP_offset' );
function writing_page_WPSP_offset( $query ) {
	
	//Before anything else, make sure this is the right query...
    if ( ! $query->is_home() ) {
        return;
    }

    //First, define your desired offset...
    $offset = 1;
    
    //Next, determine how many posts per page you want (we'll use WordPress's settings)
    $ppp = 5;

    //Next, detect and handle pagination...
	if( is_page( 'Fundraiser' ) ){
		if ( $query->is_paged ) {

			//Manually determine page query offset (offset + current page (minus one) x posts per page)
			$page_offset = $offset + ( ($query->query_vars['paged']-1) * $ppp );

			//Apply adjust page offset
			$query->set('offset', $page_offset );

		}
		else {

			//This is the first page. Just use the offset...
			$query->set('offset',$offset);

		}
	}
}

On this code, modify a few things:

Change $ppp value from 5 to the number of post you want to display on the page.

Also, on this line if( is_page( 'Fundraiser' ) ), change 'Fundraiser' to the name of the page you placed your WPSP list. Example: 'Writing'
