Displaying a specific post in a wp query by post id

0 Views

I’m simply trying to display a specific post id from my custom post type ‘homepage_video’. I’m sure that this is the correct code but it seems to be returning all of the posts rather than just Post Id 40. 

<?php
                    query_posts('post_id=40&post_type=homepage_video');
                    while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
                        <div id="video-panel-blue">
                            <?php get_custom_field('home-video-iframe', TRUE); ?>
                        </div>
                    <?php endwhile; ?>

Thanks

  1. post_id is not a valid argument for query_post Change post_id to p,
    so you get:

    query_posts('p=40&post_type=homepage_video');
while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
    <div id="video-panel-blue">
    <?php get_custom_field('home-video-iframe', TRUE); ?>
    </div>
<?php endwhile; ?>

    to see the list of arguments you can use with query_posts take a look at this codex entry

  2. All posts, regardless of their post type, are stored in the same table in WordPress. That implies that the post ID is unique. So you don’t have to use query_posts() to get a specific post, you can simply use get_post():

    $my_post = get_post(40);
echo $my_post->post_title;
