Extending the custom query

[Jason Bobich]

When working with post grids and post lists within the framework there are ways to pass custom query strings through to the elements. For those that have knowledge of WP_Query, this allows you to drill down past the options available with post lists and post grids to query the posts in your own way — maybe by a tag, a custom post type, a custom taxonomy, etc.

Thanks, Jason.

Cool, I was just cursing over that little text-box. Does not like arrays!

But I could not get pagination to work in a post grid. Was just a simple query, 1 cat with many posts, 6 per page. After adding this

'paged' => (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1

it worked! Not sure if this has changed or there is a better way, but it cant be all wrong as of today.

Thank you so much for this. I was going nuts trying to figure out why things weren’t working for me. This juicy bit is a life savor!

Now, I’ve got a lot of cleanup to do. 😉

Is there a different filter for mini-post-list and/or grid?

Is there a different filter for mini-post-list and/or grid?

No, unfortunately there is currently no way to do this.

However, it’s maybe worth noting that in Jump Start 2.0 (coming soon), this is now possible, as just about everything queried goes through this same “themeblvd_posts_args” filter.
