Description
WP Query Engine allows you to perform custom queries using the WP_Query class, using a simple shortcode or Beaver Builder module (requires Beaver Builder).
Supports:
– Most post data
– Taxonomy data
– Meta data
In addition, the plugin offers several exposed filter and action hooks for theme developers to alter the default functionality, including adding additional parameters not specified in the shortcode.
Also includes 3 default templates, including:
- Default : Standard content wrapped in an article tag
- List : Post titles with links in an UL
- Genesis Loop : If using a Genesis theme, will output using the Genesis Loop
Further, theme developers can easily alter or override the default templates using simple actions and filters, as well as include custom templates easily.

- Use the do_action( โwp_queryโ, $args ); action hook anywhere in your theme
- Using the Beaver Builder Module
