WP Query | Type: PHPBasic WP-query

As basic as it gets, for clarity’s sake.

<?php
$args = array(
  'post_type' => 'news',
  'posts_per_page' => '5', 
  'cat' => '8'
  );
$newslist = new WP_Query($args);
if ($newslist-> have_posts()): 
   while ($newslist->have_posts()): $newslist->the_post();
?>

Do stuff

  <?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_pagenavi( array( 'query' => $newslist ) ); ?>
<? wp_reset_query(); ?>
