# Enhancement: Skip # Posts option

 * Consider a page with two columns = two sidebars. We want to display the same 
   category in both columns, a simple flow from one to the next. There might be 
   3 posts in each column for a total of 6. Right now there is a post query and 
   for each widget items are selected off the top. That would mean the same 3 posts
   in each column. With a Skip Posts option, in this case Skip 3, we can display
   the latest 3 in the first column and the latest 4,5,6 in the second column.
 * If you do put this into your ToDo list, I thank you.
    If you will accept a PR,
   I will try to find time to add this myself, and thank you anyway. 🙂
 * Any +1 votes?

 * Whoops! I see from [this inquiry](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-activate-post-offset/)
   that this feature to Offset the selection is available in [Ultimate Post List](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ultimate-post-list/).
   I’ll take a look at that. But since the site I’d like this on already heavily
   uses RPWWT, I’d kinda like to see the feature here too.

   out.
    Yes, this feature is available in Ultimate Post List. I will have a look
   if I can it also to Recent Posts Widget With Thumbnails in the next update. In
   any case, I put it on the to-do list. A pull request is currently not possible
   but I will publish all the plugins on Bitbucket, in the future. Then you can 
   also contribute and send a pull request.
