Using "offset" causes loaded posts to repeat endlessly

I have also tried checking the paged property but no luck as follows:

function vc_offset_posts( $query ) {
        global $wp_query;
	if ( is_admin() || ! $query->is_main_query() )
		return;
        if ($wp_query->query_vars['paged'] > 0)
                return;
	if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
		$query->set( 'offset', 3 );
		return;
	}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'vc_offset_posts', 10 );

Could you try to use the infinite_scroll_query_args filter to add the offset to Infinite Scroll, as explained here:

That should help!

Thanks Jeremy. That works. To be specific I stil’ have the above, but then also do:

function jetpack_infinite_scroll_query_args( $args ) {
	$args['offset']   = null;
	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'infinite_scroll_query_args', 'jetpack_infinite_scroll_query_args' );

Astounded that this filter is nowhere to be found in the Jetpack Docs.

Glad to hear you’re all set!

That’s indeed not easy to find, unless you know what you’re looking for. Sorry about that!

We’ve just released our new code reference, and the infinite_scroll_query_args filter is listed there, but we still have some work to do to add examples to the docs, and add links to some of the most useful filters to each support doc. We’re working on that! Hopefully Google will start returning more and more code reference pages as well ??

Until that happens, I’ve added a new section to the Infinite Scroll support documentation to mention that filter.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks Jeremy! Great job.
