Title: Multiple Posts on a Page Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Multiple Posts on a Page * Resolved [Richard Brown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cregy/) * (@cregy) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-on-a-page-2/) * Hi Guys * I need to be able to place multiple posts on a page but call them individually. What I mean is this: * Post id=14 * Post id=15 Post id=13 * Post 14 is in its own div across the top. Then below it there are two boxes containing post 15 on the left and post 13 on the right. * I have searched the forums and docs and tried to understand multiple loops and post id posting but I have not got the hang of it! * Can anybody help please? * Many thanks * Rich Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * [viper007bond](https://wordpress.org/support/users/viper007bond/) * (@viper007bond) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-on-a-page-2/#post-381377) * Multiple loops is indeed what you are looking for.

Then open the loop again, do something, then close the loop again… * Thanks * Rich * Thread Starter [Richard Brown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cregy/) * (@cregy) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-on-a-page-2/#post-381399) * Hi * The code I am using is this: [?php if (have_posts()) : ?] [?php while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?] * [a href=”[?php the_permalink(); ?]” id=”post-[?php the_ID(’ 14’); ?>”][?php the_title(); ?][/a] [?php the_content(); ?] * [?php endwhile; ?] * I presume I need to repeat this in each div changing the post id as I go? * Thanks * Rich * P.S. I changed the < to [ so the code stays the same. * [manstraw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manstraw/) * (@manstraw) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-on-a-page-2/#post-381421) * I was thinking of doing something similar a different way. A way that’s easier for me to understand, but not necessarily shorter in code. I was thinking of pulling the content from the rss feed of the blog. In my case, I want to display the first four articles from 4 different categories. I might even do it with a custom sidebar, and use widgets to manage these story blocks. I might modify the exist rss widget to display the story body along with the title etc. * If you followed my train of thought there, does it seem like something you’d be interested in doing? If so, when I get around to coding this, I’ll post details here. (not sure when I’ll get to it though). * What I’ll likely do is: - create a new sidebar.php page and use that as my multiple story space - duplicate and modify the rss widget to show full stories - create and manage the widgets for the second sidebar, and specify a category in rss feeds to the same site. and have it take only the first story. * That’s the extremely short version of what I’ll do. It should be easy to have the widget pick a specific story, instead of the first one from a category, but I’ve never tried that, so I’m not sure how it would work. * Thread Starter [Richard Brown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cregy/) * (@cregy) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-on-a-page-2/#post-381433) * Hi * Yes I would definately be interested in doing this. In the meantime I will continue to work on the above. * Thanks * Rich * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-on-a-page-2/#post-381435) * Will those post IDs be constant or change dynamically? If constant, no need for sweating: use the get-a-post plugin: [http://guff.szub.net/2005/01/27/get-a-post/](http://guff.szub.net/2005/01/27/get-a-post/) * Thread Starter [Richard Brown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cregy/) * (@cregy) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-on-a-page-2/#post-381436) * Thanks Moshu. They will be static and that looks a very simple solution. Can I use it in multiple places on the page do you know please? * Rich * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-on-a-page-2/#post-381437) * As far as I remember – yes. * [manstraw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manstraw/) * (@manstraw) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-on-a-page-2/#post-381476) * I may look at that code and see if it can modified to do this for my 4 different categories. Perhaps you posting that link just saved me some work. * Thread Starter [Richard Brown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cregy/) * (@cregy) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-on-a-page-2/#post-381684) * Wow that plugin really works. Take a look at this page: [About iMedia](http://imediatech.biz/about-imedia-technology/). * The page is actually three wp pages… About Scott, About iMedia, About the company. So it now really works like a cms. It is excellent. * The code I used is this: Remember I have substituted < for [! * [?php require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’); /* Template Name: About Page Template Description: A template for the About Page. */ ?] * [?php get_header(); ?] * [div id=”summary”] [div id=”intro3″ ] * [?php get_a_post(14); ?] [h3][?php the_title(); ?][/h3] [?php the_content();?] * [/div] [br class=”clear” /] [/div] * [div id=”contents”] [div id=”column1″] [?php get_a_post(15); ?] [h3][?php the_title();?][/ h3] [?php the_content(); ?] [/div] * [div id=”column2″] [div class=”sticky”] [div] [?php get_a_post(13); ?] [h3][? php the_title(); ?][/h3] [?php the_content(); ?] [/div] [/div] [/div] [br class =”clear” /] [/div] * [?php get_footer(); ?] * You can download the file as a zip file from: [The Zip File](http://www.cregy.co.uk/downloads/about.php.zip). * As you can see I have saved the file as a template called “about.php” and then attached this template to each of the pages mentioned above. It really was very easy to do. * Once again a HUGE thanks to Moshula and also to Kaf who produced the plugin. * Rich Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘Multiple Posts on a Page’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [hacks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/hacks/) * [multiple](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/multiple/) * [posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/posts/) * [templates](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/templates/) * 10 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [Richard Brown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cregy/) * Last activity: [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-on-a-page-2/#post-381684) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
