WP Querying posts by names

I would like to query some posts(posttype page) by their name. It works perfectly when I query just one post with this args:

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'page',
    'name' => "media"
);

I think this should work easy with this args:

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'page',
    'name' => array( 'media', 'lms-efront'),
);

But when I have an array of names it doesn't work and I get all pages, so the argument-array has not any effects(post names are correct).

I have no idea why my code doesn't work as it should, do you know what's the problem?

Thanks

Solution

  • name parameter accepts only one post. To retrieve multiple posts using an array use post_name__in instead. Reference

    $args = array(
    'post_type' => 'page',
    'post_name__in' => array( 'media', 'lms-efront'),
);
