pre_get_posts │ action-hook │ WP 2.0.0

Fires after the query variable object is created, but before the actual query is run.

Note: If using conditional tags, use the method versions within the passed instance (e.g. $this->is_main_query() instead of is_main_query()). This is because the functions like is_main_query() test against the global $wp_query instance, not the passed one.

Usage

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'wp_kama_pre_get_posts_action' );

/**
 * Function for `pre_get_posts` action-hook.
 * 
 * @param WP_Query $query The WP_Query instance (passed by reference).
 *
 * @return void
 */
function wp_kama_pre_get_posts_action( $query ){

	// action...
}

$query(WP_Query)

The WP_Query instance (passed by reference).
