Different Pagination Offset

    Assume I have these shortcodes:

    [mla_gallery numberposts=1 attachment_category="the-cat" date_query="array('before' => 'first day of -1 month')"]
[mla_gallery numberposts=1 attachment_category="the-cat" date_query="array('before' => 'first day of -2 month')"]
[mla_gallery numberposts=1 attachment_category="the-cat" date_query="array('before' => 'first day of -3 month')"]
[mla_gallery numberposts=1 attachment_category="the-cat" date_query="array('before' => 'first day of -4 month')"]
[mla_gallery numberposts=4 attachment_category="the-cat" date_query="array('before' => 'first day of -1 month')" mla_output="paginate_links,prev_next"]

    A note:
    – There will only every be one attachment in ‘the-cat’ per month

    Is there any way to make it so that when I go to the next page (using the last shortcode), the galleries (the first four shortcodes) go forward 4 items instead of 1? The reason I am doing it this way is because each gallery is actually using an alternate shortcode (I’ve omitted it here to save space) which can only process one item at a time. If MLA could call the alternate shortcode once per item, then I could combine the four galleries into one.

    Thanks.

    Thanks for another interesting question. I think the best way to accomplish your goal is the custom shortcode approach I outlined in your related topic:

    Multiple Attributes for Alternate Shortcode

    For this aspect of the application it looks like using one [mla_gallery] shortcode with numberposts=4 and orderby=date order=DESC might work. Then, in your custom shortcode you would call the alternate shortcode for each item in the gallery to compose the gallery display.

    I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you need more specific guidance. Thanks again for your interest in MLA.

    This is the solution I came up with too, I was just checking that there wasn’t already a way to do this. Thanks.

    If you’d like, I can make the shortcode as generic as possible so that it can be made into an MLA plugin.
