Hi,

Please try add more this code at the end of functions.php file like on this image:

\
/**
 * Exclude some first posts to latest posts on the homepage.
 *
 * @since 1.0
 * @return void
 */
if ( ! function_exists( 'penci_exclude_latest_posts_homepage' ) ) {
function penci_exclude_latest_posts_homepage( $query ) {
if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
$query->set( 'offset', 3 );
}
}\
add_action('pre_get_posts','penci_exclude_latest_posts_homepage');
}

Change number 3 on the above code to number latest posts you want to hide on the homepage.

Best Regards,

PenciDesign
