WordPress Retrieve Post by Title

2 Views

The following code works brilliantly for retrieving certain pages, but I can’t get it to retrieve POSTS by name. I’d like exactly the same code, but to retrieve posts rather than pages. Any help appreciated. 

<?php
    function get_my_content($page) {
        $my_id = $page;
        $post_id = get_post($my_id, ARRAY_A);
        $content = $post_id['post_content'];

        return $content;
    }
?>    

<div id='test'>
    <?php 
        $page = get_page_by_title('testpage');
        echo get_my_content($page);
    ?>
</div>

  2. Using that earlier question I was referring to, you could do something like this:

    <?php
  function get_my_content($page_title) {
    global $wpdb;
    $post = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_title = %s AND post_type='post'", $page_title ));
    if ( $post )
      $post_id = get_post($my_id, ARRAY_A);
      return $post_id['post_content'];

    return null;
  }
?>

<div id='test'>
    <?php 
        $page = get_page_by_title('testpost');
        echo get_my_content($page);
    ?>
</div>
