I don’t use The Loop, because I use different queries to fetch posts (I use 3 queries instead of one).
How to disable main query for home, category and search pages?
1 Answer
This is not trivial, because “home,category and search” are logically determined while main query churns through stuff. I am pretty sure I read this is possible, but that was in context of syndicating site that hadn’t used posts/loop at all and scrapped it to do different stuff.
More typical approaches are:
-
Integrate custom logic into main query, by using
pre_get_posts
,posts_*
and other relevant filters. -
Leave main query for one of loops and implement other loops as secondary.
