Just to let you guys know:

I resolved my problem with another solution. I like to call it the ?do_not_duplicate?-method.

Here’s my first query:

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php $header_query = new WP_Query( array('post_type' => 'post', 'post__not_in' => $do_not_duplicate, 'orderby' => 'date', 'order' => 'DESC', 'showposts' => '1' ) ); ?>
<?php while ( $header_query->have_posts() ) : $header_query->the_post(); 
	$do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID;
?>

<!-- Enter Stuff here -->	

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

And here’s the second query:

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
	<?php $list_query = new WP_Query( array('post_type' => 'post', 'post__not_in' => $do_not_duplicate, 'orderby' => 'date', 'order' => 'DESC', 'paged' => $paged ) ); ?>
	<?php while ( $list_query->have_posts() ) : $list_query->the_post(); 
		$do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID;
	?>
	     	
<!-- Enter some other Stuff here -->
	
	<?php endwhile; ?>
			
	<div class="page-navigation">
	<?php posts_nav_link(); ?>		
	</div><!-- end page-navigation -->
	
	</div><!-- end teaserposts -->
		
<?php endif;?>	

<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

That totally did the trick for me. Hope it helps, if anyone else has the same problem.

Cheers.

I finally made it almost work.

I’m just not sure how I can assign this workaround to the specific query.

There are two queries. One for the first post, which is dispplay differently than the others and one for the rest. I just don’t wanna display the first post again in the second query. So the workaround assigns the function to the is_home() query.

if ( ! $query->is_home() ) {
        return;
    }

What if I wanna have this function only on my $list_query, which looks like this, right now:

<?php $list_query = new WP_Query( array('post_type' => 'post', 'orderby' => 'date', 'order' => 'DESC', 'paged' => $paged) ); ?>
	<?php while ( $list_query->have_posts() ) : $list_query->the_post(); ?>
	     	
        <div class="teaserpost">
            
            <div class="teaser-bild">
            	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('quadrat'); ?></a>
            </div><!-- end teaser-bild -->
              
            <div class="teaser-text">
	            <h3><?php the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ) ); ?></h3>
	            <h3 class="kategorien"><?php the_category(' | '); ?></h3>
	            <div class="clear"></div>
                <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
                <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
            </div><!-- end teaser-text -->
            
            <div class="clear"></div>
            
        </div><!-- end teaserpost -->
	
	<?php endwhile; ?>

Thanx @bcworkz for your reply.

I tried to follow your suggestion but couldn’t make it work. I also tried to make the pagination work without the offset, but couldn’t make it work, too. So maybe it’s not the offset that breaks the pagination but something else or a combination of both.

The category page also shows the same entries on page 2. Where I don’t use the offset parameter:

<?php if (have_posts()) : 
		query_posts(array('category_name' => single_cat_title( '', false ))); ?>
		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	     	
            <div class="teaserpost">
            
              <div class="teaser-bild">
              	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('quadrat'); ?></a>
              </div><!-- end teaser-bild -->
			  
              
              <div class="teaser-text">
	              <h3><?php the_date(); ?></h3>
	              <h3 class="kategorien"><?php the_category(' | '); ?></h3>
                  <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
                  <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
              </div><!-- end teaser-text -->
            
              <div class="clear"></div>
            
            </div><!-- end teaserpost -->
        
	<?php endwhile; ?>
	
		<?php posts_nav_link(); ?>	
 	
	<?php endif;?>
    <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

I’m lost.
