Hello,

I would like to pass arguments in the query that generates categories or archives pages, but I don´t know where this query is created.

I need something like

<?php 
$args = array(
	'post_status' => array( 'publish', 'inherit'),
	'post_type' => array( 'post', 'attachment')	
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>

in order to retrieve attachments, besides regular posts, in a category page.

However, when I look at global>_index.php, I don´t see the query there. I expected to have <?php if ( $query->have_posts() ) : ?>
but there is only
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

It looks like the query has been imported from somewhere else, not created inside _index.php .

Please tell me in which file/function the query for categories is formed, so that I can include my arguments there.

P.S: I already know about child themes, have set one and will apply the changes to it.

Thank you in advance!

Hi There,

You don’t have to edit the template files, just add the following code under functions.php file in your child theme:

function x_custom_filter($query) {
	if( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
		if( $query->is_archive() ) {
			$query->set('post_type', array( 'post', 'attachment' ) );
			$query->set('post_status', array( 'publish', 'inherit' ) );
		}
	}
}
add_action('pre_get_posts','x_custom_filter');

Hope it helps 🙂
