<?php global $myOffset; global $wp_query; $myOffset = 1; $paged = intval(get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; $temp = $wp_query; $wp_query= null; $wp_query = new WP_Query(); $wp_query->query(array( 'offset' => $myOffset, 'category__not_in' => array($GLOBALS['ex_asides'],7,84), 'paged' => $paged, 'showposts' => get_option('woo_other_entries'), )); ?>example three:
<?php global $myOffset; $myOffset = 1; $wp_query = new WP_Query(); $wp_query->query(array( 'offset' => $myOffset, 'category__not_in' => array($GLOBALS['ex_asides'],7,84), 'paged' => $paged, 'showposts' => get_option('woo_other_entries'), )); ?>And after those tries, I just can’t get more pages beyond the option’s that I choose, and can

<ul> <?php global $wpdb; $sql = "SELECT wposts.* FROM $wpdb->posts wposts, $wpdb->postmeta wpostmeta WHERE wposts.ID = wpostmeta.post_id AND wpostmeta.meta_key = 'gallery-url' AND wposts.post_status = 'publish' AND wposts.post_type = 'post' ORDER BY wposts.post_date DESC LIMIT 8"; $pageposts = $wpdb->get_results($sql, OBJECT); $output = $pre_HTML; foreach ($pageposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post);Click here to continue readingCreating a custom widget

Display custom url if comment authors url is blank
