Parent Query Loop Object – Traversing Nested Query Loops Up in Bricks

Bricks enables us to build nested query levels of unlimited levels.

Here are a couple of examples:

• Posts Grouped by Categories
• Nested Queries in Bricks – Posts Grouped by Published Years and Categories

Sometimes, you might want to obtain the parent (of any level, not just the immediate parent) query loop's object and, from this object, the term_id or post id or other data, depending on what is being looped.

There are two ways of getting a parent query loop object in Bricks.

1. By element ID.
2. Dynamically using a custom function in which we specify the desired level.

Let's explore these in this Pro tutorial.
