How Do I Create a Custom Query in WordPress?
Creating a custom query in WordPress is a relatively easy process. To start, open your WordPress admin area and navigate to the “Queries” menu item.
You will then see a list of all of your current queries. If you don’t have any existing queries, you can create a new one by clicking the “Create Query” button.
To create a new custom query, you first need to decide what type of query you want to create. There are three main types of queries in WordPress: search, post types, and taxonomies.
Search queries are used to find posts, pages, and other elements on your site. To create a search query, first enter a search term into the text field located at the top of the Queries menu.
Next, select the type of search you want to create from the drop-down menu located at the top of the screen.
Post types are used to group posts together. For example, you could create a post type called “News” and then assign all of your news articles to that post type.
To create a post type, first click the “Create New Post Type” button located at the bottom of the Queries menu.
Taxonomies are used to categorize posts and pages. For example, you could create a taxonomy called “Shop” and then assign all of your store posts to that taxonomy.
To create a taxonomy, first click the “Create New Taxonomy” button located at the bottom of the Queries menu.
After you have decided what type of query you want to create, you need to enter the relevant information into the query fields. To create a search query, for example, you would need to enter the search term into the text field located at the top of the Queries menu and then select the type of search you want to create from the drop-down menu located at the top of the screen.
Once you have entered the information into the query fields, you need to configure the options for your query. To do this, click the “Configure” button located at the bottom of the Queries menu.
