 * Hallo,
 * i made a custom post loop query to load a meta data.
    I get this error: `Fatal
   error: Call to a member function have_posts() on a non-object in /home/usr/public_html/
   wp-content/themes/skin/tabs/lib/link_tab.php on line 98`
 * Code from link_tab.php line 98-104
 *     ```
       while ( $linktab->have_posts() ) : $linktab->the_post();
       $custom_fields = get_post_custom();
       global $post;
       $link_tab = get_post_meta($post->ID,'link_tab', true );
       foreach ( $link_tab as $key => $value ) {
       require_once ('linksload.php'); //php code file
       $link = new Link( $value );
       ?>
       ```

 * The problem is `$linktab` is not a proper WP_Query object. You don’t indicate
   how `$linktab` is assigned. It should be something like `$linktab = new WP_Query(
   $args );` where `$args` are the query arguments defining what sort of query to
   run.
