Display the content from the parent page on the subpage

  • Hello,

    I have a subpage and I want to pull some content from the parent page. Here is the code:

    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
			<?if (get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), "Show", true)):?>
			<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
              <tr>
                <td bgcolor="#CC3300" class="header" style="padding: 10px;"><span class="big"><?the_title()?></span><br /><?the_content()?></td>
              </tr>
            </table>
			<?endif;?>
            <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

    How would I change that to indicate that I wanted to pull the content from the parent page?

    Thanks.

    Thanks Michael, but that didn’t work.

    It may have something to do with the fact that I built this template to serve as an Email template (hence the tables) and it doesn’t have the normal wp header?

    Here is the full code:

    Are you saying this query should get the parent page?

    $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=Upcoming Events&orderby=date&order=ASC&posts_per_page=1&offset=1');

    No its this code that needs to get the parent page:

    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
			<?if (get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), "Show", true)):?>
			<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
              <tr>
                <td bgcolor="#CC3300" class="header" style="padding: 10px;"><span class="big"><?the_title()?></span><br /><?the_content()?></td>
              </tr>
            </table>
			<?endif;?>
            <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

    Thanks Michael, but that didn’t work.

    Where’s the code above that doesn’t work?

    Also that’s not a valid Page Template.
