Recently I am working on a wordpress project where I want to display short description from clients about us page in footer..
then i find this solution to display short description from the page content. We can limit the number of words displayed.
Add following code in your functions.php file inside your theme folder.
<?php
if(!function_exists('getPageContent'))
{
function getPageContent($pageId,$max_char)
{
if(!is_numeric($pageId))
{
return;
}
global $wpdb;
$nsquery = 'SELECT DISTINCT * FROM ' . $wpdb->posts .
' WHERE ' . $wpdb->posts . '.ID=' . $pageId;
$post_data = $wpdb->get_results($nsquery);
if(!empty($post_data))
{
foreach($post_data as $post)
{
$text_out=nl2br($post->post_content);
$text_out=str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text_out);
$text_out = strip_tags($text_out);
return substr($text_out,0,$max_char);
}
}
}
}
?>
And to display text you have to call the function like
<?php echo getPageContent(11,150); //First parameter is PAGE ID and second is number of words displayed. ?>
OR
You can use the wordpress getPost() function to get content like
$my_postid = 12;//This is page id or post id
$content_post = get_post($my_postid);
$content = $content_post->post_content;
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
echo $content;
This was helpful for one of my project.
Thanks for your help.

Is there anyway to NOT have a border box?
argh, i would LOVE to be able to get this working on my site
hi snilesh your postings are great and iam an ardent fan of your works ,i have used your plugin(wordpress news ticker),the images are not displayed even after configuring.it would be a pleasure if you help me.your plugin would be more useful if it contains some more additional features to configure.keep up your good work.
Or you can use this :
post_content;
echo $page_data->post_content;
?>
Reference : http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_page
The code has a problem :
$page_data = get_page(98);
$content = $page_data->post_content;
echo $page_data->post_content;

You can simply use get_page($page_id).
