The content not wrapped in paragraph tags with get_page_by_title()
I am using
$page = get_page_by_title('name')
; to get the contents of a page. When I echo
$page->post_content;
none of the content is wrapped in p tags like it is when run threw the normal wordpress loop using
the_content(
). Is there a different way I should get this data so it will contain the proper tags?
Solutions
You can apply the
content filters
to
$page->post_content
like so:
echo apply_filters('the_content', $page->post_content);

How to search CPTs in draft using get_page_by_title()
I'm aware that get_page_by_title() is not an option when you want to look for posts (or CPTs in my case) that are not published (i.e. in draft). Some of the solutions that I've found are based on SQL queries, but they are old examples (more than 5 years old), and I'm afraid that they are not recommended according to the best practices on SQL querie...
get_page_by_title in Wordpress. How to use to fetch posts?
Recently, Wordpress added in the Trac that you can fetch posts by title using: get_page_by_title Instead of querying the database straight up.
