wp query search

The WP_Query class in WordPress is used to query posts and pages from the database. Here are the basic steps involved in using WP_Query:

1. Create a new instance of the WP_Query class by assigning it to a variable:

$query = new WP_Query();

1. Define the query parameters using an array. These parameters include post type, category, tags, author, and more. For example:

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'category_name' => 'news',
    'posts_per_page' => 10
);

1. Set the query parameters for the WP_Query object by passing the defined arguments array:

$query->query($args);

1. Use a loop to iterate through the queried posts and display their content:

if ($query->have_posts()) : 
    while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();
        // Display post content here
    endwhile;
    wp_reset_postdata(); // Reset post data
endif;
