<p>Query Forge lets you design and build queries from your posts, pages, or custom post types anywhere on your WordPress site with our unique Visual Node Canvas! And the Pro version goes deeper into the users or comments table, internal or external SQL tables, or any API data sources, all without writing code!</p>
<p>You can build a member directory, a WooCommerce product grid, a related posts section, an event listing, or a staff page. Really your imagination is the limit here. But the real power of Query Forge is the fact that you can not only filter by any field, or sort any way you want, but add MULTIPLE sources combined to create data sets that just are not possible with any other tool without writing code.</p>
<p>And the best part is that you can display those results in a fully styled card grid which works with the Gutenberg Block Editor OR Elementor (free or pro).</p>
<p>The process is simple. Open the canvas, drop a source node, connect your filter, sort, and save your logic. Then you stylize the card, and/or the page the way you want. Voila, results. No other plugin does this, not without having you write code, or with shortcodes. Query Forge does that all out of the box.</p>
