I have the following code at my site for displaying my top stories
<?php
if ($paged == 1) {
query_posts("cat=3&showposts=5&offset=0");
}
elseif ($paged == 2) {
query_posts("cat=3&showposts=9&offset=5");
}
else {
$offsetPost = $paged*9;
query_posts("cat=3&showposts=9&offset=$offsetPost");
}
if ( have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?>
<!--Display the top stories-->
<div class='individual'>
<a href='<?php the_permalink(); ?>' class='individualimg' style='background: url(<?php echo arras_get_thumbnail($tw, $th); ?>) no-repeat;'><span class='hidden'><p><?php the_title(); ?></p></span></a>
<div class='organizer'>
<h2 class='title'><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<p class='blurb'><?php echo arras_strip_content(get_the_excerpt(), 25); ?></p>
</div>
<a href='<?php the_permalink(); ?>' class='commentbubble'><?php comments_number('0','1','%'); ?></a>
</div>
<?php /*}*/ endwhile;?>
<div class="nextprevnav ">
<?php if(function_exists('wp_page_numbers')) wp_page_numbers(); ?>
</div>
On the first page it shows that i have 5 pages to go through, since my showpost is at 5, when i go to the second page, which display 9 post, the navigation shows 3 pages total.
So what I want to do is have something like query 9 on the first page, but show only the first 5. then put the rest on page 2 and the rest i can manage.
Is this possible?
