   Hi, Thanks for looking.

   I'm trying to pull part of a page into my sidebar, throughout my site. I started using query_posts, but this didn't work, because it changes the main query for the page, so my main post would come up as the sidebar page.

   I've found a solution in using get_page, but I'm wondering if there's a better way to do it- specifically whether there's a way to obtain the page by title rather than id...

   Here's the code I'm using:

   <?php
   $page_id = 2;
   $page_data = get_page( $page_id );
   
   $title = $page_data->post_title; // Get title
   $content = $page_data->post_content; // Get Content
   
   echo $title;
   echo $content;
   ?>

   Any help would be much appreciated..

   <?php
       $args=array(
         'pagename' => 'About',
         'post_type' => 'page',
         'post_status' => 'publish',
         'posts_per_page' => -1,
         'caller_get_posts'=> 1
         );
       $my_query = null;
       $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
       if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
         echo 'List of Pages';
         while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
         <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
          <?php
         endwhile;
       }
   wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   ?>

   Thanks for this. I had no idea about wp_reset_query and didn't know how to describe it to search for it. Much appreciated.
