Title: Need help with custom loop Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Need help with custom loop * [thinkluke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thinkluke/) * (@thinkluke) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-with-custom-loop/) * 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 which gets 5 posts per page. Currently it gets 2 posts and displays there content, then gets 3 posts offset by 2 and displays the excerpt only. So 2 big posts and 3 small. When I go to the older posts Page 2 the page displays the same layout as the first. 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. Using pagination. * Here is my site: [http://www.thinkluke.com/blog/](http://www.thinkluke.com/blog/) * Anyhelp would be appreciated.
