If I have a View based on a custom post type where there is only ever ONE post, is it more efficient to set the Limit & Offset to 1? I suspect doing so would have the same effect as using 'no_found_rows' => true in WP_Query args; is this correct?

Thanks

Hi Julie,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Setting the limit and offset to one ensure that your view will only return one post. All it is doing is setting the SQL to return only one post rather than returning all the post.

"I suspect doing so would have the same effect as using 'no_found_rows' => true in WP_Query args; is this correct?"

That is also correct.

Thanks,
Shane
