Query Forge
Query Forge is a visual query builder for WordPress. Using a node-based drag-and-drop interface powered by React Flow, you connect sources, filters, sorting, and logic to build exactly the queries you need — without writing a line of code.
It works wherever you build: use the Query Forge block in the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg), or the Smart Loop Grid widget in Elementor. The same powerful canvas drives both.
