 * I am developing a miltisite network Marketplace.
 * I can pull posts from all of my children blogs via an sql query, but is there
   a way that i can add this into an already declared WP_Query(); ?
 * I have posted some pastebins to make life that little easier lol.
 * 1) This is a function that queries posts ready for a “Portfolio” page template:
   
   [http://pastebin.com/vX8B7QQr](http://pastebin.com/vX8B7QQr)
 * Notice the $portfolio_query = new WP_Query($portfolio);
    The page template loop
   starts (minus all the other stuff): $portfolio_query->have_posts
 * 2) I am using an sql query by pulling all PUBLISHED posts into an array. Im not
   an expert coder and i am still learning, & loving it so.
 * Could someone be kind enough to show there own FULL example of a multisite sql
   post query? i assume i need to use setup_postdata() somewhere in there too?
 * The general idea is to create the “Multisite” query, and somehow merge this query
   with the above declared $portfolio_query.
 * Any help or advice would be great.
    Thank
 * Rory

 * Multisite is the same as Singlesite, there’s just not one query to run to search
   all the posts. Each site has its posts in it’s own table.
