Specific Content

  • Hi,

    I'm currently developing a site in Wordpress and on the frontpage I need to pull the content from a specific page, it is just one line because the client is likely to change it.

    My question - How can you tell wordpress to get the_content from a specific page? I have my permalink structure set to %postname%, if this is any help.

    Thanks in advance.
  • Go to Settings > Reading and pick a Static "Page" for your homepage.
  • Hi Chris,

    Sorry, thats not what I meen.

    I need to pull the page in to fit with other content. What i'm doing is taking the line of content and adding it to a carousel.

    I therefore need to know how to pull the line of code in.

    Any ideas?
  • if it is going to be in wordpress this is what you need.


    <!-- mini loop for the excerpts -->
    <?php while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
    <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
    <?php the_excerpt(); ?> // change excerpt to the post
    <p><a href=\"<?php the_permalink(); ?>\">Read more...</a></p>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    <!-- end the mini loop -->


    also if you picking from different categories, you will need to say which category.

    the above code is just what I use to get wordpress conteent out of wordpress on to a static page, this just shows the last post.

    I've actually just found a wordpress plugin called 'get a post' (http://guff.szub.net/2005/01/27/get-a-post/) on another forum.

    Thanks for the help anyway!
