If you want to fetch wordpress posts which is starts with specific word or alphabet. That is really easy to achieve in wordpress.
Article for fetch wordpress posts which starting with specific word.
Just follow my steps:
Open your functions.php file from your wordpress theme folder.
add_action( 'posts_where', 'starting_word' );
function starting_word( $sql ){
global $wpdb;
$starting_word = get_query_var( 'starting_word' );
if( $startswith ){
$sql .= $wpdb->prepare( " AND $wpdb->posts.post_title LIKE %s ", $starting_word.'%' );
}
return $sql;
}
Open your index.php file or any file where you want show the wordpress posts which is starting with specific word or alphabet.
Use following code in that file.
<?php query_posts('paged='.$paged.'&starting_word=wordpressapi&category_name=Your Category&posts_per_page=10'); ?>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?></a>
<br />
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
