WOOF :: the()
Returns:
-
MEOW_Post
An object representing the current post.
-
WOOF_Silent
An object for silent failure if there is no current post.
An highly useful method which retrieves a MEOW_Post object for the current post, based on wrapping the WordPress global $post variable.
This is an important method, which is particularly useful in the following scenarios:
- Retrieving an object for the current post in a single post template (without necessarily requiring any The Loop code)
- Retrieving the current post in a standard The Loop in WordPress. This is how you can access MasterPress fields and the richer API of post objects from within themes coded to the standards defined by The Loop.
