Why doesn't this page query work?

Question

This should be easy. I need to query to display one page in a tab. Just pull one page by one query, but I'm doing something (maybe lots) wrong here:

Edit: Hah. I forgot the_content It works now.

<?php

$the_query = new WP_Query; $the_query->query ('pagename=about' );

while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>

<?php the_content(); ?>  //forgot this

<?php endwhile; ?>

Answer 1

Hah. I forgot <?php the_content(); ?>

Answer 2

Shouldn't this be $the_query = new WP_Query('pagename=about'); ?

Answer 3

If there is only one page to call, why use "while"? Look:

<?php $query = new WP_Query;
$query->query ('pagename=about');
$query->the_post();
the_content(); ?>
