  1. to echo the title of a singular wordpress page, you do this wordpress function

    <?php the_title() ?>

    you can also surround it with some html for css formatting like follows->

    <h2><?php the_title() ?></h2>

    good luck

  2. according to the Codex : http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_pages

    “post_name” is not an argument for get_pages, it’s a possible value for “sort_column”.

    Try the following:

    <?php
global $post;
$blockwho = get_option('good_blockwho');
$page = get_page_by_title($blockwho);

$myposts = get_posts('post_type=page&p='$page->ID);
foreach($myposts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>

    <?php the_title(); ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

  3. <?php
     $blockwho = get_option('good_blockwho');
     $homeblockwho = get_pages ('post_name='.$blockwho); ?>


<?php foreach ($homeblockwho as $hbw) {   
     $content = $hbw->post_content;
     $title = $hbw->post_title;
     apply_filters('the_content', $content);

     echo "<h2><span>".$homeblockwho ->post_title."</span></h2>";
     echo "".do_shortcode($content)."";
}?>

  4. If you like to echo just the one page, this should do the trick:

    <?php
$blockwho = get_option('good_blockwho');
$page = get_post($blockwho);

$content = $page->post_content;
apply_filters('the_content', $content);

echo "<h2><span>".$page->post_title."</span></h2>";
echo "".do_shortcode($content)."";

  5. Firstly I would recommend storing the actual page/post ID in the options table rather than the name of it, you can still display page titles to the user, just have a dropdown box with the option values as IDs

    Have you checked $page->ID from j-man86’s answer is actually returning the correct ID?

    Assuming the stored option is a page ID rather than a page title, the following would work

    $page = get_page(get_option('good_blockwho'));
$title = $page->post_title;
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $page->post_content);
