split_the_query filter-hookWP 3.4.0

Filters whether to split the query.

Splitting the query will cause it to fetch just the IDs of the found posts (and then individually fetch each post by ID), rather than fetching every complete row at once. One massive result vs. many small results.

Usage

add_filter( 'split_the_query', 'wp_kama_split_the_query_filter', 10, 2 );

/**
 * Function for `split_the_query` filter-hook.
 * 
 * @param bool     $split_the_query Whether or not to split the query.
 * @param WP_Query $query           The WP_Query instance.
 *
 * @return bool
 */
function wp_kama_split_the_query_filter( $split_the_query, $query ){

	// filter...
	return $split_the_query;
}
$split_the_query(true|false)
Whether or not to split the query.
