 * Hi, I have this code:
 *     ```
       <?php if (is_page('2')) { ?>
             <h3>Title</h3>
             <p>Text</p>
   
        <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * But it doesn’t work. Any solution?

   to an example? Doesn’t work meaning… ?

 * Ok, I have that code in an include archive.
    At the end of the index.php I have
   the next code:
 * `<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/columna3.php'); ?>`
 * And in this archive I have the is_page.
    If I am in a page with id=2, it must
   show me a title with some text. But nothing happens.

 * Do you have a page.php template file in your theme? If yes, then index.php is
   NOT used to display your page_id=2 – which means the code is useless in index.
   php.
 * The conditional you are using is for [Pages](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages).

 * I dont’t understand. I have a page.php template file. But what can I do???
    columna3.
   php is called from index.php and from page.php. And never happens anything.

 * If it is called into the page.php, too – then it should work.
 * Give a link to your Page that has ID#=2.

 * Assuming you are wanting to put in your own text, you could do this, using echo
   to write the stuff you add:
 *     ```
       <?php if (is_page('2')) {
        echo('<h3>Your Title here</h3><p>your text content here</p>');}
       else {}
   
        ?>
       ```
   
 * or, if you want to pull the actual title and content from the db, then you do
   something like:
 *     ```
       <?php if (is_page('2')) {
       the_title('<h2>','</h2>');
       the_content();
       }
       else {}
   
        ?>
       ```
   
 * is that what you are after?
