We are presenting how to work with WP Query Generator<\/a> generating arguments for WP_Query class<\/strong> to present the posts according to the set query parameters using the Posts widget from JetElements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a custom query in WP Query Generator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First of all, we should open the WP Query Generator<\/a> tool and start setting the needed parameters for creating a custom query.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"WP<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. We need to specify the Post Type<\/strong> slug, which is “post” in our case.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. In the Post status<\/strong> field, we can select what posts to display (such as “Publish”, “Pending”, “Draft”, etc.). We want to show published posts, so we have chosen the “Publish” option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Then we choose the “ASC” option in the Order<\/strong> drop-down list, so the queried posts will be showcased in ascending order.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Last but not least, we specify the Order by<\/strong> parameter. If we select the “Name” option, the posts will be sorted by their names.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    When all parameters are set, we can see the generated query below. It can be copied in JSON or PHP format. We click the “Copy to Clipboard<\/strong>” button and proceed with customizing the Posts widget in Elementor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"WP<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    There are a lot of varied parameters, which can be set according to your needs and purposes. You can learn more about the provided parameters here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Adding a custom query to the Posts widget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In Elementor<\/strong> editor open the page, where you placed the Posts widget and click the “Edit Posts<\/strong>” button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Posts<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    On the left, there is a panel with various settings for the widget. In the Content<\/strong> tab, find the Custom Query<\/strong> subsection and enable Use Custom Query<\/strong> toggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Posts<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    After that, input the generated query in the field below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Posts<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Everything is done. Now the posts are displayed in the adjusted order using custom query method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Posts<\/div>\n\n\n\n
