Cherry Posts_Grid : Offset Rows Pulled?

[casbboy]

I’m using a theme with Cherry Posts_Grid and the theme uses different classes so calls the posts_grid shortcode repeatedly. To make the page show the most recent 8 posts in proper order, the person declared tags on the posts from “first” to “eighth”.

I had hoped posts_grid automatically went to the next row on its own. Such as…

[span3]
[lazy_load_box effect=“slidefromleft” speed=“900” delay=“200”]
[posts_grid
columns=“1” rows=“1” order_by=“date” order=“DESC” thumb_width=“270”
thumb_height=“195” meta=“yes” excerpt_count=“15” link=“yes”
link_text=“Read more” custom_class=“post_type_1”]
[/lazy_load_box]
[/span3]
[span6]
[lazy_load_box effect=“slidefromright” speed=“900” delay=“200”]
[posts_grid
columns=“1” rows=“1” order_by=“date” order=“DESC” thumb_width=“570”
thumb_height=“390” meta=“yes” excerpt_count=“35” link=“yes”
link_text=“Read more” custom_class=“post_type_2”]
[/lazy_load_box]
[/span6]

So i have two different formats of Post Grid side by side. But this grabs the last Post, twice. Doesn’t posts_grid has a way to offset to the next row, realizing the first row has already been pulled?

All feedback appreciated.

Okay,

I talked to Cherry Framework and they said not possible without either tags or categories to help.

But I did figure out a way after all. I edited the child theme custom-functions.php, where you can find the ‘posts_grid_shortcode’ function. Just add ‘offset’ as another variable to listen for, and apply $offset to ‘offset’ for the get_posts portion of the function.

Then just add offset=“1” or whatever in the shortcode and it will grab the next row. Solution for my home page grid issue.

Cheers!
