Recently I made a News website there I have to run a query for all the posts except the latest post. WordPress have a cool solution for this.
When run WP_Query, just add this into your query argument. And it will work fine. Now I will show you How to Exclude Latest Post from the WordPress Post Loop
'offset'=1,
Here is an perfect example. You can use like this.
$args = array ( 'post_type' => 'post', 'nopaging' => false, 'posts_per_page' => '3', 'category_name' => 'sports', 'order' => 'DESC', 'orderby' => 'ID', 'offset'=> 1 );
Hope it works. Thanks for you !
