Why is have_posts() : the_post() not working

1. You can use WP_Query to retrieve your posts. WP_Query is a class and its constructor will return an object, which also has the loop functions.

   Notice the $wq variable and $wq->have_posts(), etc.

   Important: for the functions called inside the loop (the_title(), the_content(), the_permalink(), etc.) don’t prepend the $wq variable. They work as they would with query_posts()

   <?php 
       $wq = new WP_Query($args); // $args are the same as the args for query_posts()
   ?>
   
   <?php if ($wq->have_posts()) : ?><?php while ($wq->have_posts()) : $wq->the_post(); ?>
                  <tr>
                     <td id="username"><?php the_title(); ?></td>
   
                     <td>
                         <video class="video" width="200" height="100">
                           <source src="<?php echo $rs->user->profile_video;?>" type="video/mp4">
                           Your browser does not support the video.
                         </video>
                   </td>
                     <td id="status"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"></a></td>
                     <td><select class="action">
                         <option>-Select-</option>
                         <option value="1" >Active</option>
                         <option value="0">Inactive</option>
                         <option value="edit">Edit</option>
                         <option value="4">Delete</option>
                       </select></td>
                   </tr>
   
   
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php endif; ?>
   

2. I had the same problem,

   when i used print_r($wq);
   i got a result, but have_posts() returned false

   i fixed it for me using following code:

   <?php
   $args = array(
         'posts_per_page'   => -1,
         'offset'           => 0,
         'orderby'          => 'date',
         'order'            => 'ASC',
         'post_type'        => 'post',
   
       );
   $myposts = get_posts( $args );
   
      foreach ( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post );
   ?>
   
   <p>my html</p>
   
   <?php endforeach; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
