Exclude first recent post

    Hello again! 🙂

    This time.. I’m trying something more advanced. On my homepage I’m listing excerpt posts and I’m trying to exclude the first post.

    This reason for this is that I’m using a template tag query post:

    query_posts('posts_per_page=5');

    to show the most recent post as content and I won’t be needing it to reappear as excerpt.

    Is there any way to make this happen?

    I found this code that excludes a certain post but maybe there’s something I can put in for the first post only..?

    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if( $post->ID == '179' ) continue; ?>
<?php the_content();?>
<?php endwhile;endif;?>

    and I also found this code for the first post

    <?php if ($post != 'set') { echo 'firstPost'; $post='set'; } ?>

    but I just don;t know how to attach them all 🙁

    I think this will do what you want:

    <?php $count = 1; ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if( 1 == $count++ ) continue; ?>
<?php the_content();?>
<?php endwhile;endif;?>

    Hmm, I added it but nothing happened.

    This is my homepage.php

    <?php
/*
Template Name: Homepage
*/

get_header(); ?>

<div id="content">
<div id="leftcolumn">

<div class="posthome">

<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=1'); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<?php the_content(__('Read more'));?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php
$args=array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 6,
'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
echo '<div id="titlebox"><div class="title">Recent Posts</div></div>';
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>

<div class="headingbox">
<h3 class="smalltext">
" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<h4 class="floatright"><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?> | " rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">Read All</h4></div>

<?php the_excerpt();?>

<hr />

<?php
endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

<div class="postclear"></div>
<div class="postbottomhome"></div>

</div><!-- end #post-->

</div>

</div><!-- end #content-->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Try the Codex page on ‘The Loop’, especially the section titled ‘Multiple Loops in Action’ for a different approach.
