function homepage_offset_pagination( $found_posts, $query ) {
$offset = 1;
if( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {

}
add_filter( 'found_posts', 'homepage_offset_pagination', 10, 2 );
ALL TOGETHERNOTE: This piece of code broke pagination on the search page. This is now fixed, see the updated code
This is how your complete query will look like that should go into functions.php
function tax_and_offset_homepage( $query ) {
if ($query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() && !is_admin()) {
$query->set( 'post_type', 'my_post_type' );
$query->set( 'post_status', 'publish' );
$query->set( 'ignore_sticky_posts', '-1' );
$tax_query => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'my_taxo',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array('slug1', 'slug2', 'slug3')
)
)
$query->set( 'tax_query', $tax_query );
$ppp = get_option('posts_per_page');
$offset = 1;
if (!$query->is_paged()) {
$query->set('posts_per_page',$offset + $ppp);
} else {
$offset = $offset + ( ($query->query_vars['paged']-1) * $ppp );
$query->set('posts_per_page',$ppp);
$query->set('offset',$offset);
}
}
}
add_action('pre_get_posts','tax_and_offset_homepage');
function homepage_offset_pagination( $found_posts, $query ) {
$offset = 1;
if( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
return($found_posts = $found_posts - $offset );$offset;
}
return $found_posts;
}
add_filter( 'found_posts', 'homepage_offset_pagination', 10, 2 );
ORIGINAL ANSWERALL TOGETHER
What you want to do is not possible with pagination. However there are a work around
This is how I will do it
Get the current page you are on with $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
Run a custom query in which you get the first post, which will most probably be the newest one.
Do a check to see if you are on page 1, if yes, execute this custom query, if not, do execute this custom query
OK, this is part one. Here is the code
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
if( 1 == $paged ) {
$args1 = array(
'post_type' => 'my_post_type',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 1,
'ignore_sticky_posts' => -1, // remove sticky post
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'my_taxo',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array('slug1', 'slug2', 'slug3')
)
)
);
$post1 = new WP_Query( $args1 );
if ( $post1->have_posts() ) :
while ( $post1->have_posts() ) : $post1->the_post();
//YOUR LOOP ELEMENTS GOES HERE
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();
endif;
}
?>
Now come the tough part. offset is one of the anti-user-friendly parameters to work with. I believe that you are on the homepage from what I can gather. So I'm going to handle this as if you are.
Here is how this will work
First of all, I would completely drop the custom query and revert back to the default loop on the homepage. It will makes things more easier and is the more correct way of doing things. Also you will not need any other parameters to set for pagination to work correctly, you can just use default pagination
Use pre_get_posts to alter the main query accordingly to set your term on the homepage
Together with this, still inside pre_get_posts set your offset
You'll also need to subtract your offset from found_posts otherwise your pagination will not work correctly
So, onThis is how your homepage you will have
<?php
if ( have_posts() ) :
// Start the Loop.
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
///<---YOUR LOOP--->
endwhile;
//<---YOUR PAGINATION--->
else :
//NO POSTS FOUND ORSOMETHING
endif;
?>
Now, the following codecomplete query will look like that should go into functions.php. This is a heavily modified version of code found in this answer from its_me,my own code and your code
function tax_and_offset_homepage( $query ) {
$offset = 1;
$ppp = get_option( 'posts_per_page' );
$paged = $query->query_vars[ 'paged' ];
if( ($query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() && !is_admin()) {
$query->set( 'post_type', 'my_post_type' );
$query->set( 'post_status', 'publish' );
$query->set( 'ignore_sticky_posts', '-1' );
$tax_query => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'my_taxo',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array('slug1', 'slug2', 'slug3')
)
)
$query->set( 'tax_query', $tax_query );
$ppp = get_option('posts_per_page');
if( !is_paged() )$offset {
= 1;
if (!$query->is_paged()) {
$query->set( 'offset''posts_per_page', $offset + $ppp);
} else {
$paged_offset$offset = $offset + ( ($paged $query- >query_vars['paged']-1) * $ppp );
$query->set('posts_per_page',$ppp);
$query->set( 'offset', $paged_offset $offset);
}
}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'tax_and_offset_homepage' );
function homepage_offset_pagination( $found_posts, $query ) {
$offset = 1;
if( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
return($found_posts = $found_posts - $offset );$offset;
}
return $found_posts;
}
add_filter( 'found_posts', 'homepage_offset_pagination', 10, 2 );
This should give you a basic idea on how to solve your problem. Please feel free to modify all these code to suite your needs
