 * Hello,
    I put this simple code in a snippet. I get an error that blocks the whole
   site. I can’t log in to the dashboard. I need to log into the database and disable
   the database snippet. Where is it wrong? ================= $args = array( ‘post_type’
   => ‘post’, ); $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
 * // The Loop
    if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) { echo ‘
    - ‘;
       while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) { $the_query->the_post(); echo ‘
    - ‘ . get_the_title() . ‘
    - ‘;
       } echo ‘
 * ‘;
    } else { echo ‘<h1>no posts found</h1>’; } /* Restore original Post Data */
   wp_reset_postdata();

 * Unfortunately, the code you posted is a little malformed. Can you re-post, making
   sure to put the code in backticks (`)?
