Title: Showing only certain recent posts Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Showing only certain recent posts * [MullacSennical](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mullacsennical/) * (@mullacsennical) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/showing-only-certain-recent-posts/) * I currently have a slider which shows six recent posts with a row of thumbnails( using a short code) underneath and they show the same six recent posts as thumbnails. What I would like to do is have the slider show recent posts 1-6 and the thumbnails show recent posts 6-12 so when new posts are added this will change automatically, is there a way of doing this? * Thanks for any help, sorry for the vague question I am quite new to PHP/WordPress!
