The alternative way. Problem with @david.binda solution is that:
- you have to hardcoding a lot of things, (manually write db credientials, table prefix..)
- You cannot use content filter (so if you have shortcode in your page, you will see some
[something]
instead of desired content..)
sure you can load wordpress environment, but...
Just yesterday I wrote an answeran answer to output content in a file and then use it in external app.
So, in the WordPress root folder, create a subfolder named, e.g. 'tmp'.
This folder is a sort of exchange folder from WP to your app. Be sure WordPress can write files in this folder.
In your case you can hook the save_post
filter and create the file:
add_action('save_post', 'cache_page');
function cache_page( $postid ) {
if ( defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) return;
$filename = trailingslashit(ABSPATH) . '/tmp/page-4.inc';
$content = apply_filters('the_content', get_post_field('post_content', 4 ) );
file_put_contents ( $filename , $content );
}
After that in your app:
$path = 'wordpress/path/here/tmp/page-4.inc';
$page_content = @file_get_contents($path) ? : '';
echo $page_content;
Of course, you have to save again the page after adding the code to generate the file.
If you want with same method you can cache all the pages with a simple edit:
function cache_page( $postid ) {
if ( defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) return;
$post = get_post($postid);
if ( $post->post_type != 'page' ) return;
$filename = trailingslashit(ABSPATH) . '/tmp/page-' . $post->ID . '.inc';
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $post->post_content );
file_put_contents ( $filename , $content );
}
Then in your app write a function like this
function wp_page( $id ) {
$path = 'wordpress/path/here/tmp/page-' . $id . '.inc';
$page_content = file_exists($path) ? file_get_contents($path) ? : '';
echo $page_content;
}
