The Loop

<?php 
if ( have_posts() ) {
	while ( have_posts() ) {
		the_post(); 
		
		// Post Content here
		
	} // end while
} // end if
?>

The Loop is Simple, Predictable,
and Reliable

WP_Query

// The Query
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

// The Loop
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {

echo '<ul>';
   while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
       $the_query->the_post();
       echo '<li>' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
   }
echo '</ul>';

} else {
    // no posts found
    echo 'no posts found.';
}

/* Restore original Post Data */
wp_reset_postdata();

Assigning Argument Parameters

// The Query
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

$the_query = new WP_Query(
  array('post_type' => 'page' )
);

// The Query
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

$the_query = new WP_Query(
  array('post_type' => 'attachment' )
);

// The Query
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

$the_query = new WP_Query(
  array(
    'post_type' => 'attachment',
    'post_mime_type' => 'application/pdf',
    'posts_per_page' => '-1,
  )
);

// The Query
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
