In the codex for WP_Query I see you can query by page_id=7 for pages or by p=7 for posts. Is there a way to get a post of any post type by ID? Like id=7 that will get it no matter if it’s a page, post or custom post type? I can only get WP_Query … Read more

Now I’m a little bit wiser about using WP_Query(), but still have some gray areas. What I think I know for sure: If I’m … Read more
It seems like half the tutorials in the Codex and around the blogosphere use query_posts() and half use WP_Query.
