Great release, Thank you
But i have one question, where or how can i set an offset to the “posts minimal”.
Stay healthy

Howdy, Andreas! Thanks for writing in and for the kind words, we’re glad you’re enjoying the release. 
As of right now, in all of our beta testing with customers the idea of bringing over the “offset” feature from our old Recent Posts Element did not come up once if you can believe that! As of this moment, this isn’t available but we are going to work it into a future release cycle (I cannot provide a timeframe at this point as we are prioritizing other bug patches at this moment). Once it is in, we are thinking there will be an “Offset” input right before “Count” on the Looper Provider for the Element. Thank you for alerting us to not having this feature in, and we look forward to getting it in. Cheers!
Hi, thanks for the quick reply.
ok, no problem, in the meantime I use the date to exclude a post.
Merry Christmas
Andreas
Thanks Andreas…Merry Christmas to you as well!
Throwing in another vote for including an offset feature. It would be very helpful for building custom “recent posts” sections.
I’d also been looking for an offset function.
Hey guys, wanted to bring up something that may help in the interim (hat tip @Sheri17) for bringing it up. This was a bit of feedback Alex shared to one of our beta testers…
We should probably add Offset as a new option for Providers since that could be helpful for certain situations. Meanwhile, there are ways to do this using Consumers. Try this - and the element types are just examples - use whatever layout structure you want
- Enable a Looper Provider on a Section
- Add two rows each, with a single column
- Enable Looper Consumer set to One on the first Row
- Enable Looper Consumer set to All on the second Row
- Drag a “The Title” element into the column of your second Row
You should see it looping but starting with the second post. This is because the first Row is consuming the first post and not doing anything with it. The idea here is you can make rich designs where post data is fed into any arrangement of elements with full control over the appearance and elements used. There’s also a performance advantage of not needing to run multiple queries like you would if you added multiple Classic Recent Posts elements. Oddly, WordPress seems to have removed documentation on the query string method but here are some notes that might help:
- Here are the valid WP Query options: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/WP_Query/parse_query/
- It calls wp_parse_args which when given a string, will try to parse it as a query string and pass back an array or arguments
- Those query strings are a portion of the URL format. It’s basically everything after the
?in a URL, but before the#which indicates a fragment.

Offsetting posts is also a big one for me. I was hoping to replace the current Content Views Pro plugin with this new feature.
Hi @Innovatek,
It’s a planned feature but I can’t provide an ETA on when we’ll have it in place. Meanwhile, take a look at the link above as it may help you workaround the issue.
Yep. Another one for getting offset into these new posts please!
The new posts is a great feature and nice to have the control, but I’ve been tasked with a complex latest posts page and this would be really handy.
Happy Christmas all>
Hi @azzacoward,
As my colleague says that it is a planned feature but didn’t have any ETA for that. Please stay tuned for the succeeding theme versions.
Thanks
Using both Elite and Pro. I need offset too. Happy to help implement if given repo access.
Hi John,
Thanks for your approach, but regretfully this beyond the scope of our theme support.
Thanks for understanding
