    I am trying to change some code but I need a basic idea what the function start_wp ( ) does. I just don’t wanna go through searching for it and then try to understand it. I thought it would be shorter if someone here knows what it does and could explain in 1 or 2 sentences.

    Thanks

    start_wp() is deprecated and should no longer be used.

    However, it basically does the same thing as the_post(). Use the_post() instead.

    To be more specific, it gets the next post from the database and then loads it into the various global variables (using setup_postdata ).
