 * Hi all,
    In WP 4.2 project I want to make request on posts with condition like
 *     ```
       query_posts( 'post_type=artists_songs&cat='.$artistsCategory->term_id );
       ```
   
 * But it did not returned result set I expected.
    I made some sql debugging and
   found then sql looks like :
 *     ```
       SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS  wp_posts.ID
         FROM wp_posts
        WHERE 1=1  AND (
         0 = 1
       ) AND wp_posts.post_type = 'artists_songs' AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'future' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'draft' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'pending' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'private')
         GROUP BY wp_posts.ID
         ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10
       ```
   
 * If manually to remove 1 line
    0 = 1 it works ok. It was strange for me why this
   condition was generated and how to remove it? Any ideas?
 * Actually I used similar conditition I started at the beginning and it worked 
   ok…

 * I suspect that $artistsCategory->term_id does not contain an integer. Use print_r
   to see its actual contents:
 *     ```
       print_r('<pre>CAT:');print_r($artistsCategory->term_id);print_r('</pre>');
       ```
