custom wordpress page
- by sharon
I'd like to implement a custom post retrieval page in wordpress. Basically, I'm using AJAX to call this page that will be passed a post ID and retrieve certain data from that post.
Note: please don't mistake this as a template question. I do not want a template for one single page -- I am looking to make this page query multiple different posts based on postID and return certain data from that post.
So I tried creating a page
<?php
$args=array(
'p'=>'77'
);
$friends = new WP_Query($args);
?>
<?php if ($friends->have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php else: ?>
<p>Sorry, no posts are available.</p>
<?php endif; ?>
But this does not work since it is not loading in the wp functions to handle the query.
Thanks in advance for any help!
