Display post on page with this same name as page name

If I understood you correctly, you wanted something like this:

Example:

• You have two pages called Android and iPhone with the slugs android and iphone respectively. You also have two posts with the same titles and the same slugs.
• You want to display post “iPhone” on somewhere on page “iPhone”. The same applies to post “Android”.

If that’s the case, try this code:

<?php
/**
 * Plugin Name: Derrtass&rsquo; Posts for Pages Plugin
 */

/* Hook our querying function into WordPress. */
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'derrtass_pre_get_posts' );

/**
 * Filter through the posts allowed to appear on pages by
 * comparing the current page slug to our blog posts and
 * display the matching post on the current page.
 *
 * As described on WordPress developer blog.

 * @link https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Post_.26_Page_Parameters
 * @link https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Conditional_Tags#A_PAGE_Page
 */
function derrtass_pre_get_posts( $query ) {
    global $post;
    $page_slug = $post->post_name;

    // Get a post with the same slug as this page
    if ( $query->is_page( $page_name ) ) {
        $query->set( 'name', $page_name );
        $query->set( 'posts_per_page', 1 );
    }
}

Use the above code as a plugin or in your theme’s functions.php, once you do this, use the normal WordPress loop to display the post you wanted on the target page.

Example:

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
	<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
		<h1 class="entry-title">
			<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( sprintf( 'Permalink to %s', the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
		</h1>
		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
	<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

I didn’t test this code, but it should work.

Hi

Thanks for your reply this exactly what i want… however the code you have sent isn’t working..

I have uploaded this to functions.php

/* Hook our querying function into WordPress. */
	add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'derrtass_pre_get_posts' );

	function derrtass_pre_get_posts( $query ) {
    global $post;
    $page_slug = $post->post_name;

    // Get a post with the same slug as this page
    if ( $query->is_page( $page_name ) ) {
        $query->set( 'name', $page_name );
        $query->set( 'posts_per_page', 1 );
    }
}

And used loop in template to display post….

It’s not working I’m afraid

Well, that was my bad. pre_get_posts is used to modify the main query, but since you wanted to modify a secondary loop on the page, we’ll use to good old WP_Query.

Forget whatever I said in my previous post, and put the following loop where you wanted your posts to appear.

<?php 

if ( is_page() ) {
	global $post;  

	$page_slug = $post->post_name;

	$args = array(
		'post_type' => 'post',
		'name' => $page_slug,
		'posts_per_page' => 1
	);
	$My_Query = new WP_Query( $args ); 

	?>

	<?php if ( $My_Query->have_posts() ) : ?>
		<?php while ( $My_Query->have_posts() ) : $My_Query->the_post(); ?>
			<h1 class="entry-title">
				<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( sprintf( 'Permalink to %s', the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
			</h1>
			<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
		<?php endwhile; ?>
	<?php else:
	// Your fallback content here
	?>
	<?php endif; ?>
	<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

<?php } ?>

It should work this time.

Hey Mate it works just fine ??
You have made my day thanks a lot!!!
