# WordPress Issue Need HELP

 * I am in desperate help. I would say I am not an expert however I also do not 
   nothing about php and wordpress.
 * I changed my blog (www.lamansionarenal.com) from a sub directory (/new) to the
   root folder, as it was finished and I wnated it live.
 * I made the change as wordpress stated, I had an issue which was resolved by changing
   the wp_posts structure using a sql replace from /new to /
 * The site then worked. However the issue I am having is with the right sidebar,
   which uses the get-a-post plugin to show a clearskys inquiry form. It shows on
   the homepage using the below
 * <?php get_a_post(’11’); ?>
    <?php the_content(”); ?>
 * However on any other page what it is doing is instead of showing the inquiry 
   form it shows the content of the page?
 * Is this a SQL issue? Please please help.

 * This line of code is going to display the content of a post `<?php the_content('');?
   >`
 * And I would guess `<?php get_a_post('11'); ?>` gets a post, though you’d need
   to provide a link to the plugin that allows that.

 * Would I be correct in saying the plugin is not connecting with the database?

 * That plugin worked fine for me. Using the WordPress Default theme, I put the 
   following code in sidebar.php and it displayed the title and content of post 
   id 356:
 *     ```
       <?php get_a_post(356); ?>
           <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
           <?php the_content(); ?>
       ```

 * What is happening is post 11 is being pulled on the hompage which shows a post.
 * However on the pages which are both a mix of posts/pages it is not showing.

 * This is similar to what you are trying to do and it works in my sidebar.php
 *     ```
       <?php
       $args = array(
         'post__in' => array(356)
       	);
       $posts=get_posts($args);
       if ($posts) {
       foreach($posts as $post) {
       setup_postdata($post);
       ?>
       <p><?php the_time('m.d.y') ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
       <?php the_content(); ?>
       <?php }
       }
       ?>
       ```
