How to display page content

  • Hello,

    I’d like to display the Content of a WordPress Page. To show up the title I use single_post_title(); – but I cant find the call for the content which where defined for a related page. 

    <?php /* Template Name: Template "content"  */?> 

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php
       
    $args = array( 
        'post_type' => "adventskalender", 
        'posts_per_page' => 1
    );

    $loop = new WP_Query( $args );
    
    while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post()

?>

    <div class="background-box">
        <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post_id, 'full', array() ); ?>
    </div>

    <h1>
        <?php the_title(); ?>
        <span><?php the_content(); ?></span>
    </h1>

    <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'container_class' => 'main-menu') ); ?> 

<?php endwhile; ?>

<div id="content">
    <p>
        <?php 

            if ( have_posts() ) {
                single_post_title();
                //
                // In here the "page description text" should show up
                //
            }
        ?>
    </p>
</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Can someone help with the related snippet – thank yo in advance.

    kind regards.

    You need to call wp_reset_postdata() after your adventskalender loop completes. Then call the_post() within the if ( have_posts() ) conditional before trying to use template tags like the_title(), etc. Then simply calling the_content() will output the requested page content.

    It’s not that important for single page requests, but convention in coding WP templates tells us to run a complete loop to output the request, even if only one post is expected.

    // The Loop
if ( have_posts() ) :
  while ( have_posts() ) :
    the_post();
    // output title, content, etc.
  endwhile;
else :
  echo 'Nothing found';
endif;

    Hello,

    Thank you for helping. I already solved the problem in a similar way.

    
    <?php 
        if ( have_posts() ) {
            wp_reset_query();
            setup_postdata($post); 
            echo esc_attr(htmlentities(the_content()));
        } else {
            echo "Es wurde noch kein Text definiert.";
        };
    ?>

    Thank you anyway, kind regards
