Exclude first recent post

  • Hello again! ??

    This time.. I’m trying something more advanced. On my homepage I’m listing excerpt posts and I’m trying to exclude the first post.

    This reason for this is that I’m using a template tag query post:

    query_posts('posts_per_page=5');

    to show the most recent post as content and I won’t be needing it to reappear as excerpt.

    Is there any way to make this happen?

    I found this code that excludes a certain post but maybe there’s something I can put in for the first post only..?

    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if( $post->ID == '179' ) continue; ?>
<?php the_content();?>
<?php endwhile;endif;?>

    and I also found this code for the first post

    <?php if ($post != 'set') { echo 'firstPost'; $post='set'; } ?>

    but I just don;t know how to attach them all ??

  • I think this will do what you want:

    <?php $count = 1; ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if( 1 == $count++ ) continue; ?>
<?php the_content();?>
<?php endwhile;endif;?>

    Hmm, I added it but nothing happened.

    This is my homepage.php

    <?php
/*
Template Name: Homepage
*/

get_header(); ?>

<div id="content">
<div id="leftcolumn">

<div class="posthome">

<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=1'); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<?php the_content(__('Read more'));?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php
$args=array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 6,
'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
echo '<div id="titlebox"><div class="title">Recent Posts</div></div>';
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>

<div class="headingbox">
<h3 class="smalltext">
" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<h4 class="floatright"><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?> | " rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">Read All</h4></div>

<?php the_excerpt();?>

<hr />

<?php
endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

<div class="postclear"></div>
<div class="postbottomhome"></div>

</div><!-- end #post-->

</div>

</div><!-- end #content-->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Try the Codex page on ‘The Loop’, especially the section titled ‘Multiple Loops in Action’ for a different approach.
