In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a custom loop in WordPress using WP_Query. Plus, I’ll explain why you want to use this instead of query_posts when creating custom loops like these.
I’ll show you what I learned over the last 15 years to grind out (from absolute scratch) a backlog of new clients wanting to hire you. Who your best client prospect are, what services you should be offering them, where to find them and more. Just enter your email address in the box below and let’s get started:
I’m a 15-year veteran of freelance web development. I’ve worked with bestselling authors and average Joe’s next door. These days, I focus on helping other freelancers build their freelance business and their lifestyles.

He significantly improved my site through his expert knowledge of PHP, CSS and Javascript. Would definitely recommend John to others.
John is one of the best instructors I have come across, I learned a lot from his online tutorials.
Very professional worker who is extremely knowledgable in WordPress and Wishlist Member. I would definitely hire again.
On the Freelancing on Upwork course: “This is by far the best course i have watched on Skillshare!! Thank you so much.”
John and I have worked together on numerous projects. John is very quick and efficient and was a pleasure to work with.
John is a fantastic and patient tutor, who is not just able to share knowledge and communicate it very effectively – but able to support one in applying it. However, I believe that John has a very rare ability to go further than just imparting knowledge and showing one how to apply it. He is able to innately provoke one’s curiosity when explaining and demonstrating concepts, to the extent that one can explore and unravel their own learning journey. Thanks very much John!
John is amazing at building membership sites. He converted one of my sites over from it’s existing (hardly working) platform over to the clean and simple to use WishList membership platform. I highly recommend using John and WishList for any of your membership site needs.

10 Jul 2013You are drop-dead amazing. I never knew shortcodes were so easy, and, more importantly, your explanation of why you shouldn't alter the main loop was dead-on. AWESOME tutorial.
