I've created a 404 error page in Wordpress and am trying include a contact form in the 404.php template. So, I've installed the "Fast secure contact form" plugin and have created a post that includes the shortcode for said plugin. When I view the post for this plugin the contact form shows properly. When I try to manually inject the post into the 404.php template using:
$page_id = 4015;
$page_object = get_post( $page_id );
echo $page_object->post_content;
The shortcode just displays as text. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated ...
Why not do it like this, add the shortcode to your 404 page.
<?php echo do_shortcode('[si-contact-form form="1"]'); ?>
You need not have to create a new post for the contact form.

I currently creating a Wordpress custom theme with the Ninja Forms plugin, for one of the pages Ive embedded the Ninja Form using the shortcode such as [ninja_form id=2] and Ive inserted the post directly into the inner page as such
$id = $_GET['page_id'];
$post = get_post($id, 'OBJECT', 'display');
//display the post
echo '<h1 class="dark">'.$post->post_title.'</h1>';
echo $post->post_content;
But the embedded form shortcode doesnt resolve to actually load the form into the page. What Im not doing??
try checking your Javascript files and CSS files that it doesn't affect the plugin you are using, because some of javascripts and JQueries overrides on the plugins you are using.
I want to show the page title in single post page of wordpress theme. I tried to use <?php echo get_the_title() ?> but it return the post title, not the page title.
basically I want to show MY page title, in this case "Blog" below my header area in single.php file. how do I make it?
In order to get page title you need to use WordPress API function use the code below
<?php
$post_7 = get_post($id);
$title = $post_7->post_title;
?>
In wordpress both posts and pages have ids. So same function will work to get title of either post or page.
You have to pass this parameter to get the title of the page.

I'm working on a WordPress website and i have a little problem with the custom fields plugin. I'm familiar with plugin and worked with it few times before.
I created a custom field for posts and a custom field for pages.
When i try to get the page's custom field i get it with no problem.
The page has global $post on top and i do get a different $post->ID
for each post loaded.
$pageMonth = get_field('page-month');
But when i try to get the post's field i get nothing.. I also tried it through
the post's loop with $post->ID
<?php $postMonth = get_field('post-month', $post->ID); ?>
I checked myself few times, the custom field names are fine and i did
attached the post and the page to their custom fields and everything..
I'm trying to create a slider on the homepage of my Magento site. I am totally new to Magento and have someone else on our team coding most of that stuff after realizing how far into the deep end I jumped.
My issue: I'm trying to pull custom posts from WP (with the paid advanced custom fields extension) to display an image that will go into a slider.
I'm stuck at the most basic part - pulling in a list of Wordpress posts.
I created a new file: mytemplatedirectory/default/template/home/slider.phtml with
<?php $posts = $this->getPosts() ?>
<?php foreach ($posts as $_post) : ?>
<?php echo $post->getPostContent() ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
and I put this into the CMS page in the Magento admin:
{{block type="core/template" template="home/slider.phtml"}}
But not even the default post is showing up.
If anyone has any guidance that would be extremely helpful. The beginning steps are what are throwing me off but it would also be nice to have help pulling the custom post and the advanced custom field (although it seems that Fishpig's documentation makes this pretty simple).
Thanks in advance! Sorry for such an amateur question.
The block type you're using does not include the getPosts() method, which is the reason your call to this returns nothing. If you change the block type to 'wordpress/sidebar_widget_posts' then the call to getPosts will return a post collection object.
The following link explains a little bit more about how to include this block and what you can do with it:
Display WordPress Blog Posts on the Magento homepage
Figured this out with Ben's help (who I believe is the creator of the excellent Fishpig extension).
I created a custom post (with the Custom Post Type UI plugin for WP) and a custom field (with the Advanced Custom Fields plugin for WP).
On my Homepage in the CMS I added in the content area
{{block type="wordpress/sidebar_widget_posts" name="wordpress.widget.recent_posts" post_count="5" post_type="slider_home" template="wordpress/sidebar/widget/slider_home.phtml"}}
In that block, slider_home is my post type and slider_home.phtml is a new file I created that pulls the code from wordpress/sidebar/widget/posts.phtml but customizes it to my need.
Within the loop in slider_home.phtml I took out what was currently there and added:
<?php $image = $post->getMetaValue('image'); ?>
<?php $url = $post->getMetaValue('url'); ?>
<a href="<?php echo $url; ?>" target="_blank">
<img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" />
</a>
which is pulling in the custom fields I made in Wordpress. works perfectly and now my client will be able to update their Magento site through the Wordpress CMS.
How to change header in Wordpress Blog page and all Post pages only.
I want a custom header in Blog page and all single posts page.
Thanks
You can use conditional tags within Wordpress:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags
Basically, you will need to create the content you want only for the blog and post pages and wrap this within the conditional tags:
P.S Don't forget to include the category, and archive pages - as well as the post pages.
is_single(), is_archive(), is_category()
<?php if (is_single()) { ?>
// This is a post page
<?php } else { ?>
//This is not a post page
<?php } ?>
Hope this helps.
To include different header for specific pages change get_header($name) function call inside templates and add $name attribute. Wordpress will load header-{name}.php if file exists, if not, default header header.php will be loaded. Check out template hierarchy for templates where you need to change get_header() function call ( single.php, page.php ).
Wordpress documentation:
get_header
