Filters the posts array before the query takes place.

Description

Return a non-null value to bypass WordPress’ default post queries.

Filtering functions that require pagination information are encouraged to set the found_posts and max_num_pages properties of the WP_Query object, passed to the filter by reference. If WP_Query does not perform a database query, it will not have enough information to generate these values itself.

Parameters

$postsWP_Post[]|int[]|null

Return an array of post data to short-circuit WP’s query, or null to allow WP to run its normal queries.

$queryWP_Query

The WP_Query instance (passed by reference).

Source
