`start` not working with `perch_blog_custom`

Hello,

Using start in perch_blog_custom doesn't seem to be working. Changing the value doesn't affect the output, it still always shows me the same three items. Is this something that you guys can replicate or a problem on my end?

Interested to know, can easily fix it with a CSS solution as I'm just trying to skip the first entry.

Thanks,

Alex

<?php  
    perch_blog_custom(array(
        'count' => 3,
        'start' => 2,
        'template' => 'link_list.html',
        'sort' => 'postDateTime',
        'sort-order' => 'DESC'
    ));
?>

Try turning pagination off - it's on by default and so start won't work.

I'm having exactly the same issue right now. Turned pagination off as you suggested, but still no joy. Pagination isn't actually listed as an option for perch_blog_custom() either.

Drew, do you still get notified of this thread or do I need to open a new one? I'm still struggling with this. Thanks.

Wolf, it's best to always start your own thread and reference another thread if your having the same problem. While Drew and others are notified with additional posts to old threads, jumping an older thread is unhelpful to others who rely on the solutions of that thread.
