Get Blog Posts Offset by 1

This query will get a list of blog posts and exclude the first record so that we can use it as a featured post.

// WP_Query arguments
$args = array(
	'post_type'              => array( 'post' ),
	'post_status'            => array( 'publish' ),
	'nopaging'               => false,
	'paged'                  => '1',
	'posts_per_page'         => '3',
	'ignore_sticky_posts'    => true,
	'offset'                 => '1',
	'order'                  => 'ASC',
	'orderby'                => 'date',
	'perm'                   => 'readable',
);

// The Query
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

// The Loop
if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
	while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
		$query->the_post();
		// do something
	}
} else {
	// no posts found
}

// Restore original Post Data
wp_reset_postdata();
