multiple pages/post on single page

Wouldn’t you need to do:

$lastposts = get_posts('page_id=x');

where x is the id for work?

Hi MichaelH

i have changed the section for work to this:

<div class="grid_7" id="work">

	<?php
    $lastposts = get_posts('post_id=5');
    foreach($lastposts as $post) :
    setup_postdata($post);
    ?>
    <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
    <?php the_content(); ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>

</div><!--work end-->

but it is showing the blog post (Post #01) and not my “work” page (id=5)

is that what you meant?

test site

$lastposts = get_posts('page_id=5');

NOT

$lastposts = get_posts('post_id=5');

Thanks but – ahh i give up…
changed it and it is still showing posts instead of work page…

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div class="grid_7" id="intro">

    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
    <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
    <div class="entry">
    <?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page &raquo;
'); ?>

    <?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '
', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>

    </div>
    </div>
    <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
    <?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '', '
'); ?>

</div><!--intro end-->

<div class="grid_5" id="news">

	<?php
    $lastposts = get_posts('numberposts=1');
    foreach($lastposts as $post) :
    setup_postdata($post);
    ?>
    <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
    <?php the_content(); ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>

</div><!--news end-->

<div class="grid_7" id="work">

	<?php
    $lastposts = get_posts('page_id=5');
    foreach($lastposts as $post) :
    setup_postdata($post);
    ?>
    <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
    <?php the_content(); ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>

</div><!--work end-->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

intro is fine, news is fine but work div still shows blog posts not the work page.

goning to put my head in the oven ??

Okay start at the beginning:

You want your main page to show:

1. The content of the About Page
2. The content of the Work Page
3. The content of the News Page

Yes

1. The content of the About Page (static page)
2. The content of the Work Page (static page)
3. The content of the News Page (the blog entries)

So instead of having 3 pages to navigate between its all on the homepage.

I had success using the WordPress Default theme’s index.php

I replaced:

<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">

	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

with

<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">

	<?php
    $aboutpage = get_posts('page_id=2');
    foreach($aboutpage as $post) :
    setup_postdata($post);
    ?>
    <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
    <?php the_content(); ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>

	<?php
    $workpage = get_posts('page_id=5');
    foreach($workpage as $post) :
    setup_postdata($post);
    ?>
    <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
    <?php the_content(); ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>

	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

Fantastic it works!
