 * Hey,
   I’m using a plugin at the moment, but I’m changing the pages via elementor
   pro templates and so I need to make some queries.
 * The plugin I’m using currently has a query which seems to be activated via apply_filters(‘
   propertyhive_show_results’,true);
   however I can’t seem to find the code which
   generates the query.
 * According to elementor pro, I should be able to enter the name of query in the
   loop grid, and it will only display results from that query. Does anyone have
   any knowledge of this?
   I’ve tried entering the query id as “propertyhive_show_results”
   but it doesn’t show the correct results.
 * Any ideas how I can query these posts?

 * Ah ok, thank you for pointing me to them, I guess I’ve asked the wrong question–
   I’m trying to understand how the WP Query works – I’ve just written this
 *     ```wp-block-code
       function featured_property_function( $query ) {
   
       	// Get current meta Query
       	$meta_query = $query->get( 'meta_query' );
   
       	// If there is no meta query when this filter runs, it should be initialized as an empty array.
       	if ( ! $meta_query ) {
       		$meta_query = [];
       	}
   
       	// Append our meta query
       	$meta_query[] = array([
       		array(
       		'key' => '_featured',
       		'value' => [ 'yes' ],
       		'compare' => 'in',
       			),
       		array(
       		'key' => '_on_market',
       		'value' => [ 'yes' ],
       		'compare' => 'in',
       			),
       		]);
   
       	$query->set( 'meta_query', $meta_query );
   
       }
       add_action( 'elementor/query/featured_filter', 'featured_property_function' );
       ```
   
 * And Its worked – so I’m trying to work out how I can make a query that takes 
   a url for a search query – such as ‘?minimum_rent=&maximum_rent=&minimum_bedrooms
   =0&maximum_bedrooms=5&furnished=&department=residential-lettings’ and then lets
   me query my posts using the information in that url.
