Description:
Querying through the posts can be useful for creating special container pages. Returning the posts you require is only a matter of using the right attributes.
Solution:
A query in WordPress looks like a series of GET variables:
query_posts(‘posts_per_page=-1&cat=’.7.’&orderby=title&order=ASC’)
This will return all posts that are in category 7, and will order them alphabetically.
WordPress offers also other functions that help query for the right posts:
have_posts(); – boolean, determines if the query was successful
the_post(); – focuses on one post from the iteration, allows different operations
get_the_category(); – returns the category of the post
get_the_title(); – returns the title of the focused post
