    Hello, I am very familiar with Drupal and was happy to find query wrangler. I just installed the latest version and when I create a new query by default in the preview is title and body. I tried to add fields but they do not show up. I even added a path and went to the path and that did not work (I did setup permalinks).

    I was able to change post type and that worked but that seems to be the only thing that changes the query in the preview. I also tried creating a page and pasting the shortlink in and that just showed the default title and body.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am working on a mac in firefox.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the report. Looks like the WP 3.7 update changed something about they way 404s are handled. Could you update the the new 1.5rc9 version and see if it works?

    Thank you for the quick response however that did not work. I tried adding several fields with no luck. The only things I can get to work are:

    Header
    Footer
    Posts Per Page
    Filter (Post Type)

    It almost seems as if there is a default query that is not being overwritten.

    Could you verify your Row Style for me? Does it say “Posts” or “Fields” next to ‘Row Style’ basic setting? If it says “Posts”, click on it and at the very top of the modal window there is a too-discrete select list, change that to “Fields”.

    Ah that was it, however the page still doesn’t work. Getting a page not found.

    Thanks!

    Great, that’s not so bad. Here is what I recommend and why.

    In the future, I’m planning on removing the “Display Type” (widgets and pages) drupal-views concept with the plugin. The general reason is because it just doesn’t fit well within the WordPress structure.

    What the plugin will do in the future is just create shortcodes. To create a “Query Page” you would create the Query in query wrangler, and then a normal WordPress Page, and put the query wrangler shortcode on the page. Boom! Now QW queries can take advantage of all the great WP plugins (like SEO, share buttons, etc) because they are just embedded into a normal Page.

    So I recommend you do just that. Create your query as a widget, and just paste the shortcode provided on a new page you create.

    Let me know if you have any problems with this approach. It’s a better approach than what the plugin currently uses, and I think you’ll be happier with the results.

    FYI views was a major reason why I did not switch to WordPress. Thanks for the great plugin!
