 * I’m using $wpdb->get_results() to execute a couple of SQL Queries, I have a couple
   of option requests too and then I render out some HTML in to a page or as JSON.
 * I see that all go off nicely and a few other relevant theme and options but what
   I also see is whole bunch of post related “stuff” around the edges.
 * **For HTML **page I need to kill off everything that isn’t concerned with rendering
   the template and my SQL.
 * **For JSON ** I want to kill off everything except my SQL.
 * **Can anyone suggest how I do this please?**
 * Examples of unnecessary commands ..
 * wp_get_archives()+
    _SELECT YEAR(post\_date) AS `year`, MONTH(post\_date) AS `
   month`, count(ID) as posts FROM wp\_posts WHERE post\_type = ‘post’ AND post\
   _status = ‘publish’ GROUP BY YEAR(post\_date), MONTH(post\_date) ORDER BY post\
   _date DESC
 * get_terms()+
    _SELECT t.*, tt.* FROM wp\_terms AS t INNER JOIN wp\_term\_taxonomy
   AS tt ON t.term\_id = tt.term\_id WHERE tt.taxonomy IN (‘category’) AND tt.count
   > 0 ORDER BY t.name ASC
