Querying posts Next Posts Link in Index

Try:
query_posts($query_string . '&offset=1');

If that doesn’t work may look at use the

$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts($paged . '&offset=1');

Awesome !

Here’s my final code :

<?php query_posts ($query_string.'offset=1') ; ?>
		<?php
		if (have_posts()) :
		while (have_posts()) :
	      the_post();
		?>
		<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
		<?php endwhile;
		endif;
		?>

I just deleted the & , which seemed to interfere in '&offset=1');.

Many thanks.

I just deleted the & , which seemed to interfere in ‘&offset=1’);.

Don’t know why that is working…

It doesn’t seems to need the ‘&’ as a “connector”, maybe because there’s only one parameter : the offset ?

It’s in fact my main loop in index.php, and the only special parameter would be that offset (before that, I have another loop with a wp_query).

But don’t trust me, I’m not sure to do things totally right (even if the pagination works now), so any clarification would be cool.

I was filtering posts on a single page with the function call ‘query_posts’ and noticed after a while the same problem as the original poster (Dunkkan) – the unabillity to sift through older and newer posts with the next_posts_link or previous_posts_link call, and it was easily addressed to the query_post function, since if I turned it off, everything worked fine.

this seems to solve it. I’m not sure for how long though, since I’m quite novice to php and wordpress altogether. I make of use of the get_query_var and dynamically add the appropriate paged number to the offset variable.

<?php
    //get the categories...
    $submissions = get_cat_ID( 'submissions' );
    $inspiration = get_cat_ID( 'inspiration' );
    $finalist = get_cat_ID( 'finalist' );
    $crew = get_cat_ID( 'crew' );

	if(intval(get_query_var('paged'))>1){
		$offset = '&offset='.((get_query_var('paged')-1)*10);
	}else{
		$offset = '&offset=0';
	}

	$querystring = 'cat='. $submissions.','.$inspiration.','.$finalist.','.$offset;
	?>

    <!--begin query-->
    <?php query_posts($querystring.'&showposts=10'); ?>

	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>...

...<?php endif; ?>

    <!--end query-->
    <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

sorry about that!
lost the category filtering due to a typo in the code above…

this:
$querystring = 'cat='. $submissions.','.$inspiration.','.$finalist.','.$offset;

should be this:
$querystring = 'cat='. $submissions.','.$inspiration.','.$finalist.$offset;
