get query's query string

Question

By the time index.php runs, it seems as though there is already a query populated.

How can I find out what that query's query string is?

eg. new WP_Query([query string is here])

Answer 1

Take a look at global $query_string;.

Or var_dump( $GLOBALS['wp_query'] );.

Answer 2

<?php var_dump( $GLOBALS['wp_query'] ); ?>

and if you have custom loop in your template, dont forget to use (query_post()) <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> or (new WP_Query) <?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?> :)

Function should be called after The Loop to ensure conditional tags work as expected.
