Wordpress: include content of one page in another

Question

How do I include the page content of one or more page in another page?

ex. I have pageA, pageB and pa

Answer 1

There is a Wordpress function to display the content of a particular page inside another using query_posts() it is:

<?php query_posts("posts_per_page=1&post_type=page&post_id=134"); the_post(); ?>

You set the number of pages to be displayed to 1, post type is page instead of post and the page id

Answer 2

I found this answer posted on the Wordpress forums. You add a little code to functions.php and then just use a shortcode whenever you like.

function get_post_page_content( $atts ) {
        extract( shortcode_atts( array(
            'id' => null,
            'title' => false,
        ), $atts ) );

        $the_query = new WP_Query( 'page_id='.$id );
        while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
            $the_query->the_post();
                if($title == true){
                the_title();
                }
                the_content();
        }
        wp_reset_postdata();

    }
    add_shortcode( 'my_content', 'get_post_page_content' );

For the shortcode,

[my_content id="Enter your page id number" title=Set this to true if you want to show title /]

Interesting... I looked around for how to embed Wordpress content elsewhere (as in, on another website), and found some things...

• www . shooflydesign.org/buzz/past/embedding_wordpress . html
  • Shows how to embed Wordpress content in another site with a php script; maybe just use the same thing to embed Wordpress into itself?
• www . corvidworks . com/articles/wordpress-content-on-other-pages
  • Similar concept; embed Wordpress on another page; just try to use that tool in a new WP post
• feeds themselves
  • My searching pulled up some suggestions to just use a feed to your own blog to embed into a post. There's nothing preventing that. You might want it automated and so restructuring the feed to look right might be problematic, but it's worth a shot depending on what you want to do.

Hope those are quasi-helpful. While they all are solutions for getting your WP content on some place other than WP... they might work for your given question and allow you to display A, B, and C on X.

Pages are just posts, with a post_type of 'page' in the database. You can show the content of multiple pages on another page by writing a post query in your pageX template that gets the posts you specify and output them in a Loop.

There are three ways to get post content from the database:

1. get_posts
2. query_posts
3. WP_Query

These links all point to the WordPress Codex. Get_posts and query_posts have an argument available, 'page_id', where you can specify the id of the page you'd like to retrieve and display.

Answer 5

<?php query_posts('p=43');

global $more;
//set $more to 0 in order to only get the first part of the post
$more = 0; 

    // the Loop
    while (have_posts()) : the_post(); 

     // the content of the post ?>
    the_title();
    the_content(); 

    endwhile; ?>

This is obviously a portion of the post, I got the detail from the wordpress codex.

Hi @dany:

There is not a show_post() function per se in WordPress core but it is extremely easy to write:

function show_post($path) {
  $post = get_page_by_path($path);
  $content = apply_filters('the_content', $post->post_content);
  echo $content;
}

Note that this would be called with the page's path, i.e.:

<?php show_post('about');  // Shows the content of the "About" page. ?>
<?php show_post('products/widget1');  // Shows content of the "Products > Widget" page. ?>

Of course I probably wouldn't name a function as generically as show_post() in case WordPress core adds a same-named function in the future. Your choice though.

Also, and no slight meant to @kevtrout because I know he is very good, consider posting your WordPress questions on StackOverflow's sister site WordPress Answers in the future. There's a much higher percentage of WordPress enthusiasts answering questions over there.

Hope this helps.
