Hi techlector
There is no offset argument at the moment. If you know the post IDs you want to skip you can use the exlude_posts argument.

Or use this in your (child) theme’s functions.php file.
add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy', 'rpbt_add_offset', 10, 4 );
function rpbt_add_offset( $results, $post_id, $taxonomies, $args ) {
// Offset of 2 related posts
$offset = 2;
// Remove related posts
array_splice( $results, 0, $offset );
return $results;
}
You’ll need to add the offset (2) to the amount of posts you want to show.
btw:
consider creating a child theme instead of editing your theme directly – if you upgrade the theme all your modifications will be lost. Or create a plugin with the code above.
