 * Hi,
 * I am using the HTTP API wrapper function wp_remote_post on Site A to trigger 
   a function in the functions.php file of a separate wordpress installation on 
   Site B (two different servers).
 * The function on Site B triggers fine and returns values as expected. Now I wish
   to return information from a custom table in the wordpress database of Site B.
   I am currently trying to use the following in functions.php on Site B:
 *     ```
       add_action('template_redirect', 'process_post_request');
       function process_post_request(){
       	if( $_POST['action'] == 'get_job_posts' ){
       		global $wpdb;
       		$jobs_list = $wpdb->wp_query( "SELECT job_title FROM $wpdb->wpjb_job LIMIT 5;" );
       		if ( $jobs_list ){
       			// do stuff with results of query here
       		}
       		die();
       	}
       }
       ```
   
 * The problem is that when it hits the line containing the query it throws an error:
 * > Call to undefined method wpdb::wp_query()
 * Why isnt this query call being recognised? What am I missing?
 * Any insight much appreciated.
