Query Forge

Description

Query Forge is a visual query builder for WordPress OR Elementor. Using a node drag-and-drop interface powered by React Flow, you connect sources, filters, sorting, and logic to build exactly the queries visually that 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.
