 * Install the plugin “Query Monitor”. It will help you track the queries used to
   render a page.

 * you’ll have to work backwards from the query to determine the actual call(s) 
   to wp_query.

 * Thx again Steven !
 * sorry i dont understand “backwards”. do u have an example ?
 * i am a step further but **i think its not a smart solution**.
 * on my archive.php i get with if/elseif statements on function is_tax() the right
   taxonomy of my custome post type:
 * if (is_tax(‘taxonomy,’taxonomy_name’)) $taxonomy_title = ‘some_string’;
 * elseif …. 4 times for 4 taxonomies

 * I think you are saying you don’t want to look at the parameters with a tool like
   Query Monitor, you want to get them with PHP for use in outputting related information
   from template code. Correct?
 * The main query’s WP_Query object is generally available from global $wp_query.
   All the query vars used are within $wp_query->query_vars. The actual SQL used
   is $wp_query->request. Almost everything you would want to know about the query
   is likely somewhere within its properties. Examine the class’ properties in [its source code](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/6.1/src/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php#L19)
   to see what else is available.
 * Note that secondary queries can overwrite the global $wp_query value so that 
   it no longer represents the main query. You can confirm if this has happened 
   with $wp_query->is_main_query().

 * Thanks,
 * good advice to find the parameters directly in the wp_query array.
 * i thought there are already some wp functions to grep them directly.
 * Thanks and greetings to the supporters

 * Not literally grep-like, but there is [get_query_var()](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_query_var/).
   It’ll get any specific query var value from the global $wp_query object. It’s
   just a wrapper for `$wp_query->get()`. It’s about as close as we get to directly
   grepping something.
