Using get_page- is there a better way?

  • Hi, Thanks for looking.

    I’m trying to pull part of a page into my sidebar, throughout my site. I started using query_posts, but this didn’t work, because it changes the main query for the page, so my main post would come up as the sidebar page.

    I’ve found a solution in using get_page, but I’m wondering if there’s a better way to do it- specifically whether there’s a way to obtain the page by title rather than id…

    Here’s the code I’m using:

    <?php
$page_id = 2;
$page_data = get_page( $page_id );

$title = $page_data->post_title; // Get title
$content = $page_data->post_content; // Get Content

echo $title;
echo $content;
?>

    Any help would be much appreciated..

    Thanks for this. I had no idea about wp_reset_query and didn’t know how to describe it to search for it. Much appreciated.
