I want to list all pages whose author has a specific name but WordPress returns null values
$args = array(
'author_name '=> 'admin',
'post_type'=>'page'
);
$pages = new WP_Query( $args );
foreach( $pages as $page ) {
var_dump( $page->post_title );
}
result is
NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL string(4) "test" NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL
That’s not how WP_Query
works, it isn’t what the documentation says either. WP_Query
is not a function.
foreach
needs an array, or something that can be iterated on, but you’ve given it a WP_Query
object.
Instead, look at the documentation or tutorials, all of them follow this basic pattern for a standard post loop:
$args = [
// parameters go here
];
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
$query->the_post();
// display the post
the_title();
the_content();
}
wp_reset_postdata();
} else {
echo "no posts were found";
}
