One line to include the content from one page into another page

August 14, 2020

Do you need to quickly include text or other content from a page into a larger page? Or you can even set up ‘partial’ pages specifically to allow some part of a complex template file to be user-editable, like an ‘intro text’ area. Here’s the line:

<?= get_page_by_path('page-to-include')->post_content; ?>

'page-to-include' here is the page slug (URL). You can use child pages by putting in their path, like 'parent/child-to-include'

This does use a few PHP shortcuts to get it into one line. The unabbreviated, perhaps slightly more readable, version is:

<?php 
    $include = get_page_by_path('page-to-include');
    echo $include->post_content; 
?>
