Display specific post on a WordPress page

2 Views

I’m trying to get specific post to display in a single.php page, however for some reason I get all posts displayed. I’m not sure if I am getting post id correctly, but here is how I do it at the moment: 

    <?php
    $post_id = (int) $_GET['p'];
    query_posts('p=' . $post_id);
    while(have_posts()) 
    { 
        $this_page = the_post();
        echo the_content();
    } 
    ?>

It should only display post with one id which is stored in $post_id variable, but for some reason it is getting all of them ;/

  1. not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I understand that you want to display a specific page on your single.php

    why not use this:

    <?php 
  $page_id = get_ID_by_slug('my_page_slug');
  $page_data = get_page( $page_id );
?> 

<h2><?php echo $page_data->post_title; ?></h2>
<p><?php echo $page_data->post_content; ?></p>

    and add this to your functions.php

    /* get page by slug */

    function get_ID_by_slug($page_slug) {
  $page = get_page_by_path($page_slug);
  if ($page) {
    return $page->ID;
  } else {
    return null;
  }
}

  2. Have you tried grabbing the post ID from the URL?

    <?php
   $post_id = (int) $_GET['p'];
   query_posts('p=' . $post_id);
?>

    Alternatively, this also might work:

    <?php get_post($post_id); ?>

  3. The ugly way:

    query_posts('p=11');

    (query_posts alters the main query)

    The less ugly way:

    $my_query = new WP_Query('p=11');
while($my_query->have_posts()){
  $my_query->the_post();
  the_content();
}
