I am working in a Child theme on a page with a custom template. That custom template is not displaying any text that I enter into the wordpress editor. How do I “call” that text and display it in my custom template?
Is there something like
<?php get_editor_text(); ?>
I just need a way to display the text inside the editor box on the custom teplate page. How would I accomplish this in wordpress?
I was able to fix my problem. In order to access the content I used —
<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
<?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_content();?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
By adding that snippet of code directly into my template page I was able to easily add the content from the visual editor. I had attempted to use “the_content()” but this was nonfunctional because I was not within the loop.
The loop is an integral part of WordPress and more information on the Loop can be found at http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop .
