Define a WP_Query for Topic
Lab: Add a FAQ Feature to the Collapsible Content Plugin – Part 2
Video Runtime: 16:10
For the feature that fetches the FAQs by a specified topic, we need to build a custom query. WordPress provides the ability for us to configure what we want using WP_Query. Let’s walk through the configuration parameters and figure out what we need to build a query that is based upon a certain post type, taxonomy, and term slug. We’ll use the reference guide from Bill Erickson to explore the needed configuration parameters.
We’ll also take a look in WordPress Core at the WP_Query class construct and talk a little bit about PHP OOP.
Keep It Simple, Stupid (KISS) - the best kiss you'll get in code.
