 * Hi guys,
 * So I created a gallery(custom) and well when you click on one of the images(that
   would be archive.php), which then redirects you to single.php(with information
   of the picture and itself).
 * Now what I can’t figure out is when you’d create an array and you’d need to fill
   in ‘page_id’ in the args now what I don’t get is when you click different images
   you get different id’s, what would I need to fill in the args? Here an example
   of what i’m trying to do:
 *     ```
       <?php $args = array(
       		'page_id' => '',
               'posts_per_page' => 1
             );
             $query = new WP_Query( $args );
             if ( $query->have_posts()) :
               while ( $query->have_posts()) :  $query->the_post(); ?>
   
       <div id="paginawrap">
       	<div class="pagina">
       			<div class="clearfix"></div>
       		<div class="col_3">
       		<div class="thumbs"><?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ){the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail');} ?></div>
       			<h3></h3>
       				<p></p>
       		</div>
       		<div class="col_6">
       		<div class="position">
       			<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
       			<div class="projectinfo"><?php the_content(); ?></div>
       		</div>
       		<div class="clearfix"></div>
       	</div>
       </div>
   
       <?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); endif; ?>
       ```

 * You get different ids because when you iterate through a loop, wordpress uses
   that same code over and over on a list of different posts that match the query
   parameters you sent to the database. Each time wordpress loops through the loop,
   it uses a new set of information to fill out the template, and add a new blog
   post, or image in your case. This is important if you want each post to have 
   the right information.
 * Other than the confusion, was there something malfunctioning with the query you
   posted?
