WordPress Custom Query - Part 01 - Basics

[@RhyandMarketingGroup]

Ivan, thank you for all the value you share. While this series is pushing 5 years old, it still holds a ton of good info. So much so it inspired me to write a plugin where you can access WP_Query from Javascript. Keep up the good work!

[@WatchandLearnTutorials]

Yeah, well WP_Query hasn't changed much in five years, and I think it will still be valid for years to come. But more importantly, care to share that plugin 😃 ? I wanna see what it does.

thumbs up sir

[@andreasmou6539]

Nice videos dude , this is the heart of Wordpress ! Thank you , can i ask how have you saved on your editor some functions like ( the loop ) and it suggest you automatically when you start typing ? This will help a lot with my workflow !

[@WatchandLearnTutorials]

Glad you like the videos :) .. so that was probably WordPress plugin for Sublime, and maybe also custom snippet I made, can't remember exactly because it was a long time ago. But you have very good WordPress support for VS Code, Atom, PHP Storm. Just search in their respective plugin directories. Also all of the editors have some sort of snippet system (they are called Live Templates in PHP Storm for some reason). Hope this helps, I'm not using Sublime anymore, so I can't share exact plugins and snippets I had back then.

[@ВасильВласюк-ь8т]

Hey. Great tutorial. What theme do you use for your code editor? Thanks

[@WatchandLearnTutorials]

No idea, this was recorded 7 years ago 😄

[@dusanaleksic]

svaka cast, Ivke!

[@WatchandLearnTutorials]

Fala 😁

[@manimanito85]

Nice tutorial man, what kind of theme did you use?

[@MauFerrusca]

Thank you for this very informative tutorial. How did you set up the loop autocomplete @ 3:50?

[@WatchandLearnTutorials]

I think it's either WP plugin for sublime, or I've setup code snippet. Can't remember now.

[@MauFerrusca]

I suppose it's a snippet. Thanks for your reply!

[@SuperSamsosa]

At 18:29 min how do you deduct that $dontshowthisguy = $post->Id is 1 , where is that stated ?

[@WatchandLearnTutorials]

You can check that in the admin by hovering over a post, in the bottom left of Chrome there will be the ID of the post in the URL. But this was just an example I could have used any ID there.

[@majaliwawilfred447]

I think, since he is only looping once, as in he is only showing one post as the featured post, postID will always be 1 which is the id of the post Hello World as he demonstrated when he hovered over the post in the admin dashboard. Any thoughts?

[@majaliwawilfred447]

Hola. In love with this tutorial already. Question is... Why exactly is postID == 1? How does that happen?

[@WatchandLearnTutorials]

Hi, glad you like the tutorials. As for your question - every time you create a post WP assigns an ID to it. That is why the first post has an ID of 1.

[@FreelancerSayedul]

nice

[@MohammedAlNshawaty]

You are awesome

[@WatchandLearnTutorials]

Thanks :) ... I'm blushing :)

[@WatchandLearnTutorials]

Sorry Babar but I don't see myself doing new WordPress tutorials any time soon. Also most of the things you stated here are on KZbin and some of them are even on this channel. So take a look around YT and my channel to find what you need.

[@thuhuyen2585]

what is name of the editor that you use for writing code ? I see it is very useful

[@WatchandLearnTutorials]

+Thu Huyen You mean Sublime Text? That's the name of the editor.

[@thuhuyen2585]

+Watch and Learn I've download it, thank you!

[@premier69]

Try ATOM or BRACKETS of you want a free open source version with massive plugin capabilities.

[@jellycoding]

Atom and Sublime is what I like the most. I don't like brackets. They have a strange setup for the sidebar. People have been complaining about it for over 2 years but they don't care. But I think our great teacher is using MAC and I know MAC-people like Coda from Panic. However Sublime still is what I think most people like.

[@markusv3000]

Thank you.

what php editor are you using?

Thanks for the video! Do you Plan to make an Ajax with wordpress tutorial for page loading? I could not find any good one for the frontend:(

[@WatchandLearnTutorials]

+Norman Dubois Maybe I will do that something like that. Maybe with something like Vue.js, it's a good idea. Thanks. Just have to finish this series first.

[@normandubois_design]

+Watch and Learn cool. Thank you! :)

[@normandubois_design]

+Watch and Learn I think just the basics doing it with vanilla js/jquery would be nice:)

[@zakariyaxaaji9477]

here you're only displaying the titles, but how can I display both the title, the featured image, and the content of the post? thanks an advance

[@WatchandLearnTutorials]

You would display them just like in the normal WordPress loop. For example you would display the content by just doing ... Featured image etc. Think of this like a normal WP loop that is returning data that you need, and not the default data that would be displayed on that theme file.

I do not see where you get "$post" in "$post-->ID" or how its object reference is determined.

[@WatchandLearnTutorials]

The $post is an object you get with WP. It should be available on every page, and it contains data about that page. codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/$post

What if instead of the_title(); I wanted to grab a woocommerce product attribute and concat it to another attribute be like + blanket which will out put something like "warm red blanket"

I don't know how this works with WooCommerce. Maybe better ask at Woo commerce forums.
