   Hi,

   I am new to wordpress, if anyone could help me it would be hugely appreciated. Here is my problem:

   I have query posts on a Page. What it currently does it get 2 post and displays there content it then gets 3 post offset by 2 and displays the excerpt. When I go to the older posts Page 2 the page displays the same layout as the Page 1. What I would like to happen is that any older posts only display the excerpts, so when you are on page 2 -> 5 posts are displayed using the excerpt only. Similar to this website: http://www.thinkfa.com/exposure/ .

   Here is my code:
   [Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

   Using this function:
   

   <?php
   function my_post_limit($limit) {
   	global $paged, $myOffset;
   	if (empty($paged)) {
   			$paged = 1;
   	}
   	$postperpage = 3;
   	$pgstrt = ((intval($paged) -1) * $postperpage)+$myOffset . ', ';
   	$limit = 'LIMIT '.$pgstrt.$postperpage;
   	return $limit;
   } //end function post_limit
   ?>

   Any help would be awesome.

   Try changing your code for the first loop to this:

   <?php global $more;?>
   <?php add_filter('post_limits', 'my_post_limit'); ?>
   
   <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   if ($paged < 2) : ?>
   
   <?php
   	$featured = new WP_Query();
   	$featured->query('posts_per_page=2');
   	while($featured->have_posts()) : $featured->the_post();
   ?>
   ======== Leave the rest of your while loop here =========
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   Hi vtxyzzy, thanks for your response, I have tried what you said above but i couldn't get it to work. I think the code i was using is no good. I have new code which is easier for me to understand I just cant find a place to put the 'if' statement see below for new code:

   I am thinking something like this: like if not page 1 do this, if page 1 do something else, but also calculate posts for paging... it seems so simple! I wish i was better at this.

   <?php
   // Amount of posts in the first query
   $qry[1] = 2;
   // Amount of posts in the second query
   $qry[2] = 3;
   // Total posts per page (sum of the 3 above values)
   $qry['total'] = array_sum($qry);
   // If paged is set then set the paged variable to that value, else it's 1 (the first page)
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   $onum = ($qry['total'] * ($paged - 1)); // $paged is a mutliplier
   // If paged is more then 1 then set to the total of posts to show this page, else it's page one, so no offset
   $offset = ($paged > 1) ? ($onum) : 0;
   query_posts("posts_per_page=$qry[total]&paged=$paged&showposts=$qry[1]&offset=$offset");
   if (have_posts()) :
