#8872 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

post_type ignored when it shouldn't be

Description

Sometimes you might want to retrieve a post-like object when you're agnostic about what type of post it is (for example, you don't know whether it's a post, page, or attachment).

This should work:

query_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'any',
'p' =>  123,
));

However, it doesn't because WP sees that the "p" is set, sets is_single to true, and then the logic for the post_type part of the where clause means that post_type gets set to 'post'.

Instead, the where clause logic should give the "any" post_type priority, as it must be explicitly set (and therefore can be assumed to be the desired result).

Patch give the "any" post_type priority.

In the meanwhile, you can add a temporary filter to the query clause for the rare cases where this is needed. Use str_replace to strip out the AND post_type = post.
