Description

Runs before a query is executed in the main query or any instance of WP_Query, such as query_posts, get_posts, or get_children. This hook is called after the query variable object is created, but before the query is actually run, and can be used to to alter the primary query before it is run. Also see is_main_query. Action function arguments: WP_Query object by reference.
