Thanks for your help! Learned something new today.

I appreciate the quick response! This is another avenue I read about and actually attempted. However I am stuck right now so that is why I was exploring other options.

I am stuck at the point where I am uploading the database from my current site to my local server. The database is too large to do directly through phpmyadmin so I am using Bigdump to make the upload. However, I cannot get everything to line up properly to make the upload. I have been trying to align it with this video to no success.

I already have WordPress installed on my local server. I just can’t get the database for my site in there.

If anyone else has input on this approach I would be willing to follow that path as well. It seems the best way to handle what I am trying to accomplish.

Thanks again.

There are honestly so many superlatives I could use to express my gratitude for that. That was above my head and that worked to perfection. Thank you so, so incredibly much alchymyth. You’re the man.

This is the ‘Berlin’ theme from Graph Paper Press. I asked them for help on this issue, but for some reason was met with a lot of resistance.

That is the link to my site as it stands now. As you can see, some posts get posted both in the slider and in a thumbnail below. I see two solutions:

1) Post only second most recent post from categories designated in slider.
2) Bypass most recent post in thumbnails of categories at bottom of page for those categories that are also in the slider.

I prefer the second option as that means the most recent and important posts will be in slider. Though, if only option one can be achieved I won’t have any qualms.

Below is the code as it stands now for my homepage. I have tried using the ‘offset’ command in both the slider and the thumbnail categories at the bottom of the page, both without success.

I hope I explained my issue well enough. I appreciate your help more than you know. Thanks!

Yes this code is working and includes no edits from me for this theme. I have attempted to us the ‘offest’ into the WP_query, but it essentially deletes my homepage.

Again, this is the unedited code.
