WordPress Custom Query - Part 01 - Basics

In this WordPress Custom Query tutorial series we are going to take a look at WP_Query object in WordPress and how you can use it to create complicated WordPress sites.

n this first episode I'm going to be talking about ```WP_Query``` object in WordPress and I'm going to show you some basic examples of what you can do with it to display content on your WordPress site the way you want. That is to say - to have complete control over the output of your data.

Examples that we are going to be doing include:

* Displaying certain number of posts
* Ordering your posts
* Creating a featured posts functionality

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!
