Querying by post type in the frontend

You can create new queries to display posts from a specific post type. This is done via the “post_type” parameter to a WP_Query().

Example:

$args = array( 'post_type' =&gt; 'product', 'posts_per_page' =&gt; 10 );
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop-&gt;have_posts() ) : $loop-&gt;the_post();
	the_title();
	echo '

‘; the_content(); echo ‘

‘; endwhile;

This simply loops through the latest 10 product posts and displays the title and content of them.
