[wp-hackers] WP_Query and multiple pages

[Ade Walker]

Will,

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I have the Page ID's available, and I
already thought of using get_post_custom. I think I'll dig a little deeper
into this and see if this will work for me. Apart from the post title, which
I can get with get_the_title(), I only need custom field data for these
Pages, therefore avoiding the overhead of a post object would be ideal.
