How do I combine pages (and their templates) into one page?

3 comments

1. First for main page template choose default template and write you global elements there. And in this template use get_template part to include pages

   <!--custom query for pages-->
   <?php
   $args= array('post_type'=>'page');
   $query= new WP_Query($args);  
   $query->while(have_posts()):query->the_post(); 
    $temp_name= get_page_template_slug( $post->ID );       
    $temp_name_exp =explode('.',$temp_name);
    get_template_part($temp_name_exp[0]); 
   
   endwhile;
   endif;
   ?>
   

   and in career, blog etc pages

   <?php
   /*
   Template name: Career or blog or something else
   */ 
   ?>
   <?php the_tiele();
         the_content();
    ?>
   

   for
   “I also want it so if someone clicks in the navigation menu to go to “Jobs” or “Team”, it will take them to that “Our Company” page, but with a querystring so I can scroll them to that part of the page”
   assign each pages wrapper to page slug example <section class="<?php echo $post->post_name; ?>"> and write a function to redirect your view page link to http://yoursiteurl/#page-slug

2. EDIT

   In order to get one page’s content into another use the following function:

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

   and then create a template for the “Our company” page (like template-our_company.php) in which you will make a call to the function (e.g. <?php show_post('careers'); /* Shows the content of the "Careers" page using the slug. */ ?>).

   So the template file should include something like this:

   <?php
   show_post('careers'); 
   show_post('jobs'); 
   show_post('team'); 
   ?>
   

   For your 2nd question, you need to adjust the template-our_company.php file like this:

   <?php
   <div id="careers"></div>
   show_post('careers'); 
   <div id="jobs"></div>
   show_post('jobs'); 
   <div id="team"></div>
   show_post('team'); 
   ?>
   

   and then in the Menu dashboard, just adjust the navigation link to something like “/our-company/#careers” etc.

   EDIT 2

   In order to retrieve the content of pages with specified templates in another template, you can do the following:
   Create the templates (files careers.php and jobs.php) and the posts that will be using those templates

   /*
   Template Name: Careers
   */
   

   …

   /*
   Template Name: Jobs
   */
   

   Then in the “parent” template, you can query the posts that have the above specified templates selected
   untested code

   $args = array(
       'meta_query' => array(
           'relation' => 'OR',
           array(
               'key' => '_wp_page_template',
               'value' => 'careers.php',
               'compare' => '='
           ),
           array(
               'key' => '_wp_page_template',
               'value' => 'jobs.php',
               'compare' => '='
           )
       )
   );
   
   $myposts = get_posts( $args );
   foreach ( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post );
       the_content();
       // or add anything else
   endforeach; 
   wp_reset_postdata();

3. @user3418748’s answer was a good start for me, but in my case I needed to load specific pages, and I found that just using get_template_part() by itself wasn’t loading any content because I was doing it outside a loop. In order to get this to work you need to first set the global $post variable to the page/post you want to display. Here’s the function I used (replace mytemplate with the name of your tempalte):

   function mytemplate_show_page($path) {
       global $post;
       $post = get_page_by_path($path);
       $tpl_slug = get_page_template_slug($post->ID);
       $tpl_slug_exp = explode('.', $tpl_slug);
       get_template_part($tpl_slug_exp[0]);
   }
