or shall I write my own SQL SELECT query?
THAT’s the real overkill!
Using the normal Loop and having only the_title tag in it… doesn’t work for you? – It does for everybody else.
OK, OK! I’m new to WordPress and still figuring it all out.
I’m building an index page for a CMS, and I’m going to be listing 150 – 200 posts, all in their respective categories. Each one will show the title and a metadata intro below it.
So the Loop is different from the get_posts() then?
get_posts() seems to grab a lot of stuff from the database! But the Loop doesn’t? I guess I need to get in and play some more…
Holy smokin’ database Batman!
`include_once “../wp-blog-header.php”;
print_r($wp_query)`
There’s a lot of code being output here! Does this grab EVERYTHING in the database!?
I don’t have my 200 entries in yet, but when I do, will every single page-load for the site grab all the entries, every time?
Is this the WordPress way then? Grab everything once (whether you need it or not) then just have it available?
I hope I’m not barking up the wrong tree, I’m just trying to understand.
😀
No takers for this one?
Thanks,
Dave
