On my homepage, I currently have a featured post at the top. Then later in the page, I display the next four newest posts using offset 1 to not show the featured post.
I'm currently using two queries using the following code;
<?php $query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => array('post'),
'posts_per_page' => 1
) );
?>
<?php while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>
/*Show post info here*/
<?php endwhile; ?>
I then have a second brand new query further down the page, doing the same thing, but calling the next 4 posts.
<?php $query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => array('post'),
'posts_per_page' => 4,
'offset' => 1,
) );
?>
<?php while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>
/*Show post info here*/
<?php endwhile; ?>
Is there a way to make the query once, but still output the results into two seperate HTML blocks?

Reset to default 1You could use a unique query using WordPress get_posts() function like:
<?php
// The unique query for 5 posts
$posts = get_posts( array(
'post_type' => array('post'),
'numberposts' => 5
) ); ?>
<?php // First block (1st post)
if ( $posts ) {
$post = reset($posts); // Get the first post (WP_Post object)
// Display the post title (and the post ID) for example
echo $post->post_title . ' (' . $post->ID . ')<br>';
} ?>
<?php // Second block (other 4 posts)
if ( count($posts) > 2 ) {
// Loop through posts (WP_Post objects)
foreach( $posts as $key => $post ) {
// Bypass the first post
if ( $key > 0 ) {
// Display the post title (and the post ID) for example
echo $post->post_title . ' (' . $post->ID . ')<br>';
}
}
} ?>
It should work.
