However when you pass it an array like so {{{ $args = array ( 'post_status' => array('inherit','publish') ); $query = new WP_Query( $args ); }}} The following two errors are thrown: Warning: explode() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in /Users/ender/Sites/soompi3k_trunk/htdocs/wp-includes/query.php on line 2369 Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /Users/ender/Sites/soompi3k_trunk/htdocs/wp-includes/query.php on line 2378 And the SQL query looks like this: SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.post_type = 'post' ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10 But pass in a comma separated string like so {{{ $args = array ( 'post_status' => 'inherit, publish' ); $query = new WP_Query( $args ); }}} No errors are thrown and the resulting SQL query is what I would expect: SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.post_type = 'post' AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'inherit') ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10 " defect (bug) closed normal Query minor duplicate
