First of all, you have to create a custom field with JetEngine<\/em><\/a>. Read here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, you should create a listing template and apply it to the posts with the help of the Listing Grid<\/strong><\/a> widget. To learn how to perform it, go to this tutorial<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/svg><\/div>
Warning<\/div>

The following tabs (Posts Query<\/strong>, Terms Query<\/strong>, Users Query<\/strong>, Content Types Query<\/strong>) concerning query settings are legacy. We recommend using the Query Builder<\/a> functionality and Custom Query<\/strong> tab, respectively.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Setting Posts Query: Order and Offset<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, you should open the listing with the Elementor<\/strong> editor and choose the necessary listing from the dropdown menu. Customize it as you want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proceed to the Content > Posts Query<\/strong> tab and select the Order & Offset<\/strong> type here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, go to the Posts Offset menu. When you set the concrete number in this select menu, you hide this number of posts from displaying on the page. For example, you set \u20181\u2019 in the Posts Offset menu, and the first post in the listing will disappear, and so on. (Note that if you change the order from DESC to ASC and vice versa, the post from the first place will be hidden. Look at the end of the tutorial to see how it works.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"order\n\n\n\n

The next option is called Order<\/strong> and allows you to change the order from descending to ascending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To set the correct order, we should choose the criteria for this. In the Order by<\/strong> dropdown menu, you are able to set the needed option or even set the random one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order the posts in any way. For example, by the Title\/Name<\/strong> (it means alphabetically), Date<\/strong> (as we\u2019ve seen above), or by the Meta field<\/strong> (which can be either data, text, or numerical value, for instance).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To order posts by date, choose the Meta value<\/strong> option in the Order by<\/strong> menu. The Meta key to order<\/strong> field, you should fill in the Name \/ ID<\/strong> of the relevant meta field. In our case, it\u2019s \u2018custom-dates\u2019<\/strong> one. Don\u2019t forget to choose the Date option<\/strong> in the Meta type<\/strong> menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is more, it\u2019s possible to widen the opportunities by combining the Order & Offset<\/strong> posts query type with others. You can simply do it by clicking on Add new item<\/strong> button and customizing the settings to your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you know how to order and offset posts Query Type in the Listing Grid widget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
