Query Posts

Basic Syntax#

{{ query:posts }}  <article>    <h2><a href="{{ url }}">{{ title }}</a></h2>    <p>{{ excerpt }}</p>  </article>{{ /query:posts }}

The markup inside the loop repeats once for each post.

How It Works#

Inside the loop, values belong to the current result.

{{ query:posts }}  <h2>{{ title }}</h2>{{ /query:posts }}

If WordPress finds posts, TemplateX prints one heading for each post.

Limit Results#

Use limit when you want to cap the number of results:

{{ query:posts limit="3" }}  <h2>{{ title }}</h2>{{ /query:posts }}

Without pagination, limit="3" means the query prints up to 3 posts total.

With pagination, limit becomes the page size. For example, limit="12" paginate means 12 posts per page.

Empty Results#

Use {{ else }} when WordPress finds no posts:

{{ query:posts }}  <h2>{{ title }}</h2>{{ else }}  <p>No posts found.</p>{{ /query:posts }}

The first part repeats for each result. The else part renders only when the query is empty.
