Pages are one of the defining features of WordPress. Not just because they are different from Posts, which are category and tag based, but also because you can feature a Page as your sites front page. With the added functionality that templates provide, the sky (metaphorically speaking) has become the limit for theme designers and developers.<\/p>\n
Here are five code snippets you can use to enhance what you can do with a Page!<\/p>\n

1. Show specific WordPress Post\/Page<\/a>:<\/strong> Code used to get the content, title, excerpt, etc for a specific Page or Post. This code is perfect for showing specific content on a Page template.<\/p>\n 2. WordPress get attachements for Post or Page<\/a><\/strong>: Gets a Post or Page’s attached images and outputs them. A nice piece of code to show a gallery of thumbnails perhaps.<\/p>\n 3. List WordPress sub Pages<\/a><\/strong>: As the description states, you can use this code snippet in your template file to show all sub Pages for a particular Page. Example uses may include a list of employees by job, where each employee is a sub Page of a department.<\/p>\n 4. If Page is Parent or Child<\/a><\/strong>: May sound a bit complex, but actually it’s a handy little piece of code. Check out the example provided by Chris and how it works.<\/p>\n 5. Create a New Page<\/strong><\/a>: No, this is not done with the “Add New” button. Rather, this is done by a themes functions.php file. Generally used to create pages where specific content would need to be filled in. You’ll also find this being used by e-commerce plugins to create new Pages for their cart, checkout etc…<\/p>\n \u2014<\/p>\n Got any code tricks<\/a> of your own up your sleeve?
