<p>WP Query Engine allows you to perform custom queries using the WP_Query class, using a simple shortcode or Beaver Builder module (requires Beaver Builder).</p>
<p>Supports:<br />
– Most post data<br />
– Taxonomy data<br />
– Meta data</p>
<p>In addition, the plugin offers several exposed filter and action hooks for theme developers to alter the default functionality, including adding additional parameters not specified in the shortcode.</p>
<p>Also includes 3 default templates, including:</p>
<ol>
<li>Default : Standard content wrapped in an article tag</li>
<li>List : Post titles with links in an UL</li>
<li>Genesis Loop : If using a Genesis theme, will output using the Genesis Loop</li>
</ol>
<p>Further, theme developers can easily alter or override the default templates using simple actions and filters, as well as include custom templates easily.</p>
<h4>Using the Plugin</h4>
<ol>
<li>Place the [wp_query] shortcode anywhere withen your content</li>
<li>Use the do_action( ‘wp_query’, $args ); action hook anywhere in your theme</li>
<li>Using the Beaver Builder Module</li>
</ol>

<h3>Notes</h3>
<p>This plugin is provided free, and while I will try to provide support to the best of my ability, I only have so much time to dedicate to supporting a free plugin. If you would like to contribute the this project directly, the main development is done at <a href="https://github.com/WPCodeLabs/WP-Query-Engine" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>.</p>
