    Hi there

    In custom page templates, do I always need to use “global $wpdb”? Or only if I need to make explicit calls to the database?

    Thanks.

  • The latter:

    Specifically, only if you are using the variable “$wpdb”, this applies to all global variables and objects etc, it is not specific to $wpdb”.
