Last n (2/3/4 etc.) posts in a separate container

Hai,
First section of your template display latest five posts
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query(‘showposts=5’); ?>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<h4>” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
<?php the_content(” More…”,TRUE,”); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

second section of your template display old five posts
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query(‘showposts=5&offset=5’); ?>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<h4>” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
<?php the_content(” More…”,TRUE,”); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

Thank you

Thank you a lot !!!!!! Works perfect!

One more question :
How do I make pagination now? I was having

<?php
global $wp_query;

$big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer

echo paginate_links( array(
	'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
	'format' => '?paged=%#%',
	'prev_text' => __('? Previous'),
    'next_text' => __('Next ?'),
	'current' => max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ),
	'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages
) );
?>

But this doesn’t work anymore with this loop

[ Please do not bump, that’s not permitted here. ]

I managed to partially fix pagination by adding code from this post

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-wp-pagenavi-wp_pagenavi-does-not-work-with-offset?replies=17

Like this :

<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=5'); ?>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<h4>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
<?php the_content(" More...",TRUE,''); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

second section of your template display old five posts
<?php
$last_five = get_posts('numberposts=5');
$last_five_ids = array();
if( $last_five ) foreach( $last_five as $last_post ) { $last_five_ids[] = $last_post->ID; }
$my_query = new WP_Query(array('post__not_in' => $last_five_ids, 'posts_per_page' => 5, 'paged' => get_query_var('paged') ) );  ?>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<h4>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
<?php the_content(" More...",TRUE,''); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

Now I need a solution to make the first loop skip every 5 next posts. Because the problem is that the first loop displays on the next page the 5 posts from the second loop of the page before(the first page), while the second loop displays on the next page the 5 posts that the first loop should have displayed.

In other words I have , for example, 20 posts, instead of having 2 pages with 5 posts in the first loop and 5 in the second I have 3 pages :
–First page: 5 posts in the first loop and 5 in the second
–Second page: 5 posts (the 5 posts from the first’s page second loop) in the first loop and 5 posts in the second loop (the posts that should be in the first loop of this page *second page)
-…and so on…
Thank you.

I finally solved it like this:

<div id="first-loop-container">
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php $count = 0; ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php $count++; ?>

<?php if ($count <= 5) : ?>
<h4 title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
        <?php the_content(" More...",TRUE,'');
    <?php endif; endwhile; ?>
</div>

<div id="second-loop-container">
<?php rewind_posts();
$cnt = 0;
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if ($cnt >= 5 ): ?>
<h4 title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
        <?php the_content(" More...",TRUE,'');
<?php endif; $cnt++; endwhile; ?>

</div>

<?php
global $wp_query;

$big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer

echo paginate_links( array(
    'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
    'format' => '?paged=%#%',
    'prev_text' => __('&laquo; Inapoi'),
    'next_text' => __('Urmatoarea &raquo;'),
    'current' => max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ),
    'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages
) );
?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Thank again for you answer sreedhanya.
