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).
Supports: 
– Most post data 
– Taxonomy data 
– Meta data
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.
Also includes 3 default templates, including:
<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>
Further, theme developers can easily alter or override the default templates using simple actions and filters, as well as include custom templates easily.
<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>
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>.

WP Ajax Query allows you to query your WordPress database using the same query paramaters you would use for WP_Query, and return a JSON respresentation of the query results. This allows developers to easily interface with WordPress without having to relearn a new API.
<h3>How It Works</h3>
The Ajax Query interface would be available at http://example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=query
A sample jQuery request would be like: 
 $.get(ajaxurl, { action: ‘query’ }, function () { }, ‘json’);
Querying for a post: 
 $.get(ajaxurl, { action: ‘query’, p: 1 }, function () { }, ‘json’);
JSON results: 
 { 
 “id”: 1, 
 “type”: ‘post’, 
 “title”: “Hello World”, 
 “permalink”: “http:\/\/example.com\/?p=1” 
 }
Query a category: 
 $.get(ajaxurl, { action: ‘query’, cat: 1 }, function () { }, ‘json’);
JSON results: 
 { 
 “id”: 1 
 “type”: “category”, 
 “permalink”: “http:\/\/example.com\/?cat=1”, 
 “terms”: [], 
 “posts”: [] 
 }
<pre><code>terms and `posts` represents an array of either terms that are sub categories of the category, or posts belonging to the category.<h3>Why I Created It</h3>
</code></pre>
Needed a common way to query the database for posts and taxonomies across multiple plugins, and didn’t find a suitable replacement.
