Wordpress: include content of one page in another

Question

How do I include the page content of one or more page in another page?

ex. I have pageA, pageB and pageC and I want to include the contents of these pages in pageX

is there a wordpress function that loads the post of a specified page/post?
like show_post("pageA")??

Answer 1

There is not a show_post() function per se in WordPress core but it is extremely easy to write:

function show_post($path) {   $post = get_page_by_path($path);   $content = apply_filters('the_content', $post->post_content);   echo $content; } 

Note that this would be called with the page's path, i.e.:

<?php show_post('about');  // Shows the content of the "About" page. ?> <?php show_post('products/widget1');  // Shows content of the "Products > Widget" page. ?> 

Of course I probably wouldn't name a function as generically as show_post() in case WordPress core adds a same-named function in the future. Your choice though.

Also, and no slight meant to @kevtrout because I know he is very good, consider posting your WordPress questions on StackOverflow's sister site WordPress Answers in the future. There's a much higher percentage of WordPress enthusiasts answering questions over there.

I found this answer posted on the Wordpress forums. You add a little code to functions.php and then just use a shortcode whenever you like.

function get_post_page_content( $atts ) {         extract( shortcode_atts( array(             'id' => null,             'title' => false,         ), $atts ) );          $the_query = new WP_Query( 'page_id='.$id );         while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {             $the_query->the_post();                 if($title == true){                 the_title();                 }                 the_content();         }         wp_reset_postdata();      }     add_shortcode( 'my_content', 'get_post_page_content' ); 

For the shortcode,

[my_content id="Enter your page id number" title=Set this to true if you want to show title /]
