What are all the available parameters for query_posts?

Question

The WordPress codex page for query_posts states that it does not cover all the parameters which query_posts takes:

Parameters

This is not an exhaustive list yet. It is meant to show some of the more common things possible with setting your own queries

I couldn't find a reference of all the parameters which are accepted by query_posts, though, even in just a simple list form. Is there a cheat-sheet or something similar available with this data?

Answer 1

Below is everything from WordPress 3.0.1 found in the parse_query() function of /wp-includes/query.php (lines 1246-1550).
However, it's possible for a plugin to add parameters and so a list can never be fully complete:

• attachment
• attachment_id
• author
• author_name
• cat
• category__and
• category__in
• category__not_in
• category_name
• comments_popup
• day
• error
• feed
• hour
• m
• minute
• monthnum
• name
• order
• orderby
• p
• page_id
• page
• paged
• pagename
• post__in
• post__not_in
• post_status
• post_type
• preview
• robots
• s
• sentence
• second
• static
• subpost
• subpost_id
• tag__and
• tag__in
• tag__not_in
• tag_id
• tag_slug__and
• tag_slug__in
• tag
• taxonomy - (pre 3.1)
• tb
• term - (pre 3.1)
• w
• withcomments
• withoutcomments

• year

  Pre WP 3.1

• meta_key

• meta_value

  Since WP 3.1

• fields
• meta_query
• tax_query

Answer 2

If you can read PHP code, you can take a look at the function parse_query($query) in class WP_Query of file wp-includes\query.php

The supported arguments are all listed and managed there.

Answer 3

I use the Codex page for WP_Query. http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

The list may not be exhaustive but it is useful, fairly comprehensive and up-to-date. I believe that WP_Query and query_posts share the same parameters.
