Add page as static html into another page

Question

Is there a way to include a wordpress Page into another one? I'm not just talking about getting the content using get_page(), but to import the whole page (theme + content). I have been looking around for hours for a way to achieve this but I can't find a way, I guess it's a pretty unusual thing to try to do, but it's necessary for what I want to do with my site.

What I want to achieve is this:

Page1 uses this template:

<?php
/*
Template Name: page-template1
*/
?>

<div id="content">
 <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
 <div class="post">
 <h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title();?></h2>
 <div class="entrytext">
  <?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page &raquo;</p>'); ?>
 </div>
 </div>
 <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>

<div>
Hello
import_page("page2");
</div>

Page2 uses this template:

<?php
/*
Template Name: page-template2
*/
?>

<div>
World

<div id="content">
 <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
 <div class="post">
 <h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title();?></h2>
 <div class="entrytext">
  <?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page &raquo;</p>'); ?>
 </div>
 </div>
 <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>

</div>

Result:

<div>
World

<div id="content">
 <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
 <div class="post">
 <h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title();?></h2>
 <div class="entrytext">
  <?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page &raquo;</p>'); ?>
 </div>
 </div>
 <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>

</div>
<div>
Hello
<div>
World

<div id="content">
 <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
 <div class="post">
 <h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title();?></h2>
 <div class="entrytext">
  <?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page &raquo;</p>'); ?>
 </div>
 </div>
 <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>

</div>
</div>

Answer 1

You can use locate_template().

locate_template( 'page-template2', true );
