<p>The query_posts() function is often misused by theme and plugin developers. This little plugin will call WordPress’ built-in _doing_it_wrong() function, whenever query_posts() is used within a theme or plugin. It doesn’t stop the query itself, but simply issues a notice if running in debug mode.</p>
<p>If you have a friend who uses query_posts(), use this plugin to help your friend out.</p>


Stop query_posts

Let's stop this query_posts madness, shall we?

<p>Quick Query is a snappy interface for WP_Query that makes querying with WordPress straightforward and concise. It’s built on top of WP_Query (with a few exceptions), and provides a much more flexible and accomodating interface for querying posts.</p>

<h3>Quick Query is under heavy development!</h3>
<p>I’m writing code + testing as fast as I can to get us to a good minimum set of functionality.</p>

<h3>The Future!</h3>
<p>Besides adding interfaces for the most common querying tasks (posts, tags, authors, sorting, etc.), I’d like to build in sensitivity to ACF fields/data and possibly a caching interface.</p>
<p>Before that can happen, there are lots of tests to be written and plenty of design decisions to be made (and, of course, documentation!).</p>
<h3>Who’s this for?</h3>
<p>This is certainly geared more toward developers than designers and hobbyists. That said, It does return WP_Post objects, so all/most of the functionality you’re used to may be there.</p>
