How to get latest page (not post) of User and display the content

Question

I've been trying to get the latest Page, not post, by author ID and display it on a page.

The reason it has to be a page and not a post is that the user will only be posting one page and a whole bunch of posts.

This also needs to be done dynamically and be based on the current logged in user.

I've got the following code:

<?php
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
echo $user_id;
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'page',
    'post_status' => 'published',
    'posts_per_page' => 1,
    'author' => $user_id
);
$my_posts = get_posts( $args );

foreach ( $my_posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>    
        <?php the_title(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

All this does is return the title of the current page (testing with the_title(); will replace with the_content(); once it starts working). I've looked around for solutions but can't find any.

Would love some help with this.

You need to use WP_Query. get_posts will only get you post =)

<?php 
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
echo $user_id;
        $args=array(
            'post_type' => 'page',
            'post_status' => 'published',
            'posts_per_page' => 1,
            'author' => $user_id
        );                       
        $wp_query = new WP_Query($args);
        while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); 
            the_title(); 
        endwhile; 
        ?>

Tested, and it is working

I created a new custom post type rather than using a page. Should have thought of that sooner:

<?php
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$args = array( 
    'post_type' => 'user-review', 
    'posts_per_page' => 1, 
    'author' => $user_id );
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
    echo '<div style="width:885px;height:auto;">';
    the_content();
    echo '</div>';
endwhile; 
?>
