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', 'action_function_name_1441' );
function action_function_name_1441( $this ){
	// action...
}

$this(WP_Query)

The WP_Query instance (passed by reference).
