What you can do is this: Put up.php in your active theme’s folder, and put this line at the top of your up.php file: <?php /* Template Name: Up */ ?> Create a page called Up in your WordPress Dashboard, then on the right side of the edit page screen, set the Template to ‘Up’. … Read more
Typically you use widgets or custom post types but in reality these solutions can be unfriendly to clients. WordPress still revolves around the idea of a post based loop so doing traditional “content blocks” that you might find in other frameworks can be difficult. Fortunately there are plugins that are pretty good in this area. … Read more
Yes, you can. In the old days, this was not possible (as evident from other answers). However, it’s possible now. WordPress now lets child pages (of any post type that is hierarchical) from different parents to have the same slug / name. This is possible because now WordPress considers the entire hierarchical tree (parent-child combination) … Read more
You could make a list of paths to check… $page_paths = array( ‘analysis/firstNamelastName’, ‘exercise/firstNamelastName’ ); Then check if there’s a page object for each of the page paths. foreach( $page_paths as $page_path ) { echo ‘<code>’ . $page_path . ‘</code> ‘ . PHP_EOL; if( ! $page = get_page_by_path( $page_path ) ){ echo ‘Does not exist.’ … Read more
Using template_include (as suggested by Brad Dalton) only changes the page template on the front end, not in the admin when editing a page. On the other hand, changing the value in the post object before the metabox is rendered, as suggested by czerspalace, works! I added a check to only apply this when $post->page_template … Read more

By default, WordPress uses the ID in the link structure: http://www.example.com/?page=ID or http://www.example.com/?p=ID (for posts). You can change this to a more user-friendly structure called “pretty permalinks” that … Read more
First off: The ID of a post or page is always an integer. “about” is either your about page’s title, slug or both. Including the following in your “homepage’s” page template or in the sidebar combined with conditional tag(s) will display the about page’s content: <?php // query for the about page $your_query = new … Read more
next_posts_link and previous_posts_link use the global $wp_query. function get_next_posts_link( $label = null, $max_page = 0 ) { global $paged, $wp_query; http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.5/wp-includes/link-template.php#L1523 That means you need to do something like this to get those to work correctly. $orig_query = $wp_query; $wp_query = new WP_Query($args); // the rest of your code $wp_query = $orig_query; If you are … Read more
To wit, this technically isn’t a ‘page’, however it’s a way to surface content using mod_rewrite. The goal here is to add a URI segment of foobar that will trigger a custom query, then include the specified template file. Add a rewrite rule: add_action(‘init’, ‘foo_add_rewrite_rule’); function foo_add_rewrite_rule(){ add_rewrite_rule(‘^foobar?’,’index.php?is_foobar_page=1&post_type=custom_post_type’,’top’); //Customize this query string – keep is_foobar_page=1 … Read more
