Hi,

I’ve putting a system in place for posts to expire on a certain date and switch to a new category, but I wanted the expired posts to appear after the current posts, rather than being mixed together and sorted by date.

I’m nearly there with it now, the main snag is having this page paginated with 6/9 posts on one page. Here’s what I’m using so far:

[blog_posts items=”999″ orderby=”date” columns=3 cat=”freebies”]
[blog_posts items=”999″ orderby=”date” columns=3 cat=”expired-freebies”]

Test page – *Login to see link

The current system is automatically paginated by Blog Grid page template, with 6 on a page.

The only other issue is that the page still displays the posts in 2 columns rather than 3, is there something wrong with the shortcode?

Thanks
