#1 Demo example of how this function works

Suppose we have a static page. At the very beginning of the page code, call the function as follows:

<?php wp('author=1&orderby=title&order=ASC'); ?>

Then comes the standard loop output.

As a result, the loop will display the author's posts with ID = 1, sorted by post title.

Also, the is_author() conditional tag will be triggered on this page, not is_single().

It's just demo example - not recommended to use it in you project. wp() function calls by WP itself and not considered to use somewhere else.

Notes

  • Global. WP. $wp Current WordPress environment instance.
