Blog post offset

Hi,

 

Is it possible to offset the blog posts being displayed?

 

CASE:

- 1 main post at the top of the page

- 3 blog posts under the main (horizontal)

- Multiple blog posts in a vertical format

Allowing me to make a page that looks like these examples:

- https://cabinceramics.co.uk/

- https://camperreport.com/

 

From what I can tell the post widget doesn't allow me to offset the posts shown to prevent duplicate posts being displayed, have I missed something?

  Hi Mark,

  Unfortunately, at the moment isn't possible to customize in such a way the display mode of the posts from the Posts element. Now, you can display all of the posts in the same way by selecting the number of columns and rows, you want to display on a page. We have created a feature request on your suggestive case and sent it to our managers. They will investigate it and will send it further to the team.

  Thanks!

  Best regards,
  Sandra

  We really need post/custom post offset as a feature. I have just ran into this problem, when wanting to create a couple of featured posts with related posts below.

  Hi Sandra,

  Found this thread because this is just what I need! I wanna emphasize the need for it, it would be awesome! It opens up a lot of possibilities that I was not imagining at first (thanks Mark!).

  That would be great to be able to arrange the posts element with image and text side by side, in a vertical manner, and also set images to be a square thumbnail. Currently I am using a plugin to be able to display random posts with thumbnails by my posts footer, that feature would solve it.

  I also would like to be able to choose some of the posts to be specific ones, rather than by category, I could not find this option. Am I missing it?

  Kind regards,

  Rodrigo

  Hi Rodrigo,

  At the moment is possible to display the Posts in a vertical way but isn't possible to display the posts in the way Mark said (in the first row only one post and after this on the next row 3 posts). In this video https://jmp.sh/m4zDboz, you can find how to display the Posts in the vertical way.

  "I also would like to be able to choose some of the posts to be specific ones, rather than by category, I could not find this option." - if you use the Posts element, you have to filter them by a category or tag. Unfortunately, isn't possible to show some certain posts. You can set to these posts you want to display a tag or a special category and display them.

  Best regards,
  Sandra

  Hi Sandra!

  That's awesome! It's just what I wanted!

  I think I can use the tags as a workaround, like you suggested.

  Thanks a lot for taking the time to teach!

  Kindest regards,

  Rodrigo
