Using WordPress ‘get_page()’ PHP function

by

The get_page() WordPress PHP function retrieves page data given a page ID or a page object. However, it’s recommended to use get_post() instead of get_page().

Usage

$page_data = get_page( $page, $output = OBJECT, $filter = 'raw' );

Example:

Input:

$page_data = get_page(42);

Output:
Returns a WP_Post object containing the data of the page with ID 42.

Parameters

  • $page (int|WP_Post) – Required. Page object or page ID. Passed by reference.
  • $output (string) – Optional. The required return type. One of OBJECT, ARRAY_A, or ARRAY_N, which correspond to a WP_Post object, an associative array, or a numeric array, respectively. Default: OBJECT.
  • $filter (string) – Optional. How the return value should be filtered. Accepts ‘raw’, ‘edit’, ‘db’, ‘display’. Default ‘raw’. Default: ‘raw’.
