 * Hey there,
 * I’m getting in trouble by creating a post query, with is ending in an $variable
   with post IDs inside. I hope you can help me. 🙂
 * My final result variable should look like this:
    Content of $slogan: “23, 13,
   34, 35”
 * ! This Code should work inside of my header.php !
 * This is the code i have created so far:
 *     ```
       // ID of current page
       global $post;
       $pid = $post->ID;
   
       // ID of Slogan Posts
       // WP_Query arguments
       $args = array (
       	'post_type'         => 'header-slider-type',
       	'cat'                    => '68',
       	'order'                 => 'DESC',
       	'orderby'             => 'date',
       );
   
       // The Query
       $slogan = new WP_Query( $args );
   
       // The Loop
       if ( $slogan->have_posts() ) {
       	while ( $slogan->have_posts() ) {
       		$slogan->the_post();
       		$slogan->get_the_ID();
       	}
       } else {
       		_e( 'Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.' );
       }
   
       // Restore original Post Data
       wp_reset_postdata();
       wp_reset_query();
       ```
   
 * Thank you!!!

 * Why not have a different varible
 * e.g.
 *     ```
       $slogan = new WP_Query($args);
       while ($slogan->have_posts()) : $slogan->the_post();
           $myids .= $post->ID . ',';
       }
       $myids = rtrim($myids, ',');
       ```

 * Hey,
 * now I have the correct code:
 *     ```
       $slogan_ids = get_posts(array(
           'numberposts'   => -1, // get all posts.
           'tax_query'     => array(
               array(
       	'post_type'              => 'header-slider-type',
       	'cat'                    => '68',
       	'order'                  => 'DESC',
       	'orderby'                => 'date',
               ),
           ),
           'fields'        => 'ids', // Only get post IDs
       ));
       ```
   
 * It works!!
