I have a website running Wordpress with a specific, custom theme and I would like to use some of the pages as an iframe within a different website.
The problem I am having is that I don't want to show the menu, header and footer, I want to use a different font and have the page load as quick as possible.
The best way to do this is to apply a different, bare page template to the page I want to embed as an iframe. However this will also affect the page when displayed on the website. There are plugins that will enable the content to be shown as json. This gets close to what I want to do but since it's an iframe I'd prefer to have some basic styling in there.
Is it possible to do the request for the iframe in a way a different page template is applied?
I've tried reading up about this but due to the sheer amount of articles explaining how the page template hierarchy works I've not been able to find anything explaining how to make the client influence this.
tl;dr can I do some sort of ?apply_template='page-bare.php' to enforce a different page template?
I think this might help you: Load post with a different template?
The way is:
Register new query variable
Redirect to a different template, when that query var is set
Create that template in the way you like it
get_template_part might also come in handy here.

I'm making a website in WordPress, and I'm using a plugin ACF PRO. I'm doing the entire site with flexible content, so the WordPress site is like a page builder.
Everything is fine, however, I came to a point where I need to have same functionality for single-[custom-post-type], so I can "Add row", header, footer etc... on it, but I can't figure out on how to do it.
I know that it's possible, because e.g if you look at this site here: https://rolleragency.co.uk/our-projects/
You can see that it works. I know they are using flexible content because I worked on that site and I did there what I wanted. I can't remember how to do that.
I think I had to use a Tempate Page? Or? I can't remember.
THe site is built entirely on flexible content, so everything there is modular and it's like a drag and drop, but how do I do that on single-slug?
You have to create a page template, yes.
So something like page-projects.php then in WordPress admin you would have a page called Projects.
The template you created should be automatically applied to this page. If it doesn't for some reason you can choose which template WP should use on the right side when editing a page.
Now, you can add whatever code you need to the page-projects.php. And also any fields you may need for that page you can set up in ACF by telling ACF to apply those fields to pages that use projects template.
This is how I would and did do it on several occasions :)
I feel kind of stupid asking this but... I have three pages on my website. There is one of them I want to edit. How do I access the code of this page? I need to change the size of a Google Maps I have embedded on the page.
Go edit this page, in the right sidebar look for Template in page attributes box. This page should be using a template, go to your theme folder and look for a php file with the similar name, when you open, it should have the exact template name in the header, that's where you can edit the code of this page assuming that it use a template.
I managed to solve the problem by playing around with some divs in the css.
For all pages, Wordpress give us a default page template : page.php. That's clear and simple, by default all pages use this template. Then, Wordpress give us a page template system, and when we speak about template we think reusable so we think about page layout template.
For example : full-width, page-width, sidebar-left... You specifie the template to use for each page, it's ok.
But when you begin to work on a more complex web site, your content will not be a simple post (page type) inside a page template anymore. For a reason or another you have to use another feature of Wordpress : page-slug.php. Before, of course you can try to do shortcode for everything you develop, include specific plugins only for your complex page etc but ONE DAY, you will have no choice to use this page-slug.php.
Here comes the problem : the content is "more specific and complex" but you still need to use your layout template, and you can't... Of course, you hate duplicated code so you don't want to just "copy" your template inside.
If we really want a specific page, we use the page-slug.php without a page template and it do the job. Then...
Why Wordpress don't consider the page-slug.php as pure content when (and only when) a page template is specified ?
Am I missing something ?
Thanks
I have been trying to figure this out now for a while but there but I haven't found any conclusive answer yet. I want to add some pages to wordpress that are static. I need to include JS script that is from a third-party login. Using JS, HTML, CSS. Very simple and basis login.
So normally what I do is create a page, empty, attach a template and put the JS/HTML/CSS/Text into that template.
However, it seems weird to create an empty page in a CMS. Is there another way, a proper way, of adding a normal page into wordpress without using the static PAGES option in the CMS?
You could just create the page and add a link to it from your WP-site. But this is only if you don't need any of the wp-functions. Also it won't show up at all in your wp-admin dashboard.
I am maintaining a wordpress blog and am familiar with using the og:image meta tag to set the default image that is included when a like button is pressed. What I want to know is if there is a way to make this image dynamic based on the item liked.
I am trying to build it so that the first image in a particular blog post that is liked is what is pushed to the facebook feed post, with the blog's default image only used if there is no image in the post. Does facebook provide any way to do this with the graph api?
I tried writing javascript to change the meta tag on article pages (rather than the homepage) but found out later the crawler does not run javascript, so am now considering implementing the same but server side with PHP. This still would not solve the problem of Likes from the blog homepage, where there are multiple blog items on the page though. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
The only is changing how the meta tags get rendered to the client, in server code or in your layout template. There is no graph api method for this and you can't modify the tags with javascript as their scraper doesn't execute javascript.
Also, the scraper won't keep re-visiting your site so once it access it, it will be cached until you go to the url linter tool manually. so for the home page, you would probably just want the default image.
