    Hi Mike
    Have just started this in a new thread as the last was resolved.
    Finally I got this code (below) you suggested at the beginning to work in selecting the correct posts and showing them in the correct place. However now I want to recreate the style of tile display I am using elsewhere can I use styling arguments to the_wp_tiles ($query) or can I do it in style.css? Sorry to keep asking so many questions.
    I have looked around and see that the code handling the_wp_tiles.php is in the pluggables php and it show the $opts areguments but can I include the whole range of options I would [put in a wp_tiles shortcode and do I put it in as an array to the_wp_tiles ($query, $opts (array(…….)); ?

    $query = new WP_Query( array(
    ‘meta_key’ => ‘birthday’
    ‘meta_value’ => date( ‘F d’ )
    ) );

    the_wp_tiles( $query );

    Yes, exactly! Check out the $defaults in wp-tiles/src/WPTiles/Options.php to see what options you can pass in the array in $args. They are mostly the same as your shortcode. For example: 

    $query = new WP_Query( array(
    'meta_key' => 'birthday'
    'meta_value' => date( 'F d' )
), array(
    'byline_height' => 100,
    'pagination' => 'none'
) );

the_wp_tiles( $query );

    Cheers,
    Mike

    Thanks for all your help – almost there now … just need to tweak a few things to get it exactly right but I expect I will get there ! I’ll start a new thread.

    How would I incorporate the_wp_tiles( $query) call into a loop to output a default message if no tiles/posts were found after this call?

    Hi @carosea, you can check if any posts have been found by checking what the number is in $query->found_posts. If it’s 0, you can show your default message:

    if ( $query->found_posts === 0 ) {
   echo 'No posts founds.';
} else {
   the_wp_tiles( $query );
}

    Cheers,
    Mike
