# Create a Shortcode for a WP_Query loop

 * I’m a noob WordPress Developer and I just created my first Custom Template Page
   using Advanced Custom Fields and managed to loop.
 *  `<?php
    $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘art’, ‘orderby’ => ‘title’, ‘order’ =
   > ‘ASC’ ); $the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?> <?php if ( have_posts() ) :
   while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
 *  <?php get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘art’ ); ?>
 *  <?php endwhile; endif; ?>`
 * But I will like to use it not only inside a template page, but anywhere I want.
   Therefore I need to create a shortcode.
 * Example: `function foobar_func( $atts ){
    return “foo and bar”; } add_shortcode(‘
   foobar’, ‘foobar_func’ );`
 * My question would be: How can i put the loop inside my shortcode?
