apply_filters_ref_array( 'posts_pre_query', WP_Post[]|int[]|null $posts , WP_Query $query )
Filters the posts array before the query takes place.
Description
Return a non-null value to bypass WordPress’ default post queries.
Filtering functions that require pagination information are encouraged to set the found_posts and max_num_pages properties of the WP_Query object, passed to the filter by reference. If WP_Query does not perform a database query, it will not have enough information to generate these values itself.
Parameters
- $posts
-
Return an array of post data to short-circuit WP's query, or null to allow WP to run its normal queries.
- $query
-
The WP_Query instance (passed by reference).
