Wordpress - How to display page content in a page template?
I'm using two loops. First loop is to show the page content, and the second loop is to show the queried post contents. I commented into the codes where necessary. I emphasized into the loops, as Deckster0 said in WordPress support that, the_content()
works only inside a WordPress Loop. I'm placing these code into a my own template:
<?php
/*
* Template Name: My Template
*/
get_header(); ?>
<div id="container">
<div id="content" class="pageContent">
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1> <!-- Page Title -->
<?php
// TO SHOW THE PAGE CONTENTS
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> <!--Because the_content() works only inside a WP Loop -->
<div class="entry-content-page">
<?php the_content(); ?> <!-- Page Content -->
</div><!-- .entry-content-page -->
<?php
endwhile; //resetting the page loop
wp_reset_query(); //resetting the page query
?>
<?php
// TO SHOW THE POST CONTENTS
?>
<?php
$my_query = new WP_Query( 'cat=1' ); // I used a category id 1 as an example
?>
<?php if ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1> <!-- Queried Post Title -->
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?> <!-- Queried Post Excerpts -->
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
<?php endwhile; //resetting the post loop ?>
</div><!-- #post-<?php the_ID(); ?> -->
<?php
wp_reset_postdata(); //resetting the post query
endif;
?>
</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #container -->
