Offset a post in the loop, with using PageNavi Plug-in

Question

I am trying to offset 1 post in my main loop, I have tried a few things Like query_posts() etc etc, and i can get the offset to work but my pagination ends up not working , I am using the PagNavi plug in , Any Help would be awesome , the Code is pretty generic , thanks again!

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php query_posts('offset=1');?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

//Content

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Answer 1

Because of query mechanics either $paged or $offset is used, but not both at the same time. Basically if you want custom offset then it is assumed that you do not want pagination.

You would probably need to hook into post_limits and change generated LIMIT SQL to adjust offset, unless there is an easier way that I am missing.
