I have a home page with two initial loops showing four posts (two on each column with two different categories and then the regular loop starts again. The code has been inserted on a custom page template.
So far everything seems to be working fine, but when I try to get the third loop (the regular one) to start on the third post (offset of two posts) my pagination gets corrupted and page 2 and further only show page one. This code seems to be working:
$posts = query_posts(array( 'cat' => -30, 'paged' => get_query_var('page')));
But when I change it to this:
$posts = query_posts(array( 'cat' => -30, 'paged' => get_query_var('page'), 'offset' => 2));
My pagination stops working.
Anybody knows what I'm doing wrong?
I will copy the entire code here (line 137 is not being used now, and line 138 is where the problem seems to be):
