How to check page STATUS?

  • Hello,

    I want to display some text on my website, whenever the page with a specific name is published (i keep this page as a draft when i dont want to show this content)

    How do i do that?

    I thought this would do the trick;

    <?php if(get_page_by_title('Storing')) : ?>
<h3>test</h3>
<?php endif;?>

    But this shows the post under all circumstances, since it only seems to check if the page excists.

    Any clues?

    Ok, that code is wrong. Here is the correct version(I think):

    <?php
// if you want to show the content of your draft post

$limit = 40; // this is 40 words
$content = explode(' ', $draft_content);
if (count($content) > $limit) {
$content = implode(' ', array_slice($content, 0, $limit)) . '...';
} else { $content = $draft_content; }
echo $content;
?>

    I need some coffee!

    Get yourself some coffee! Thanks for the great help ?? it’s up and running!

    keesiemeijer – wonderful piece of code, thanks! Do you think you might be able to help me? I’d like to only display a text and have it link to the actual content, so I’d need to get the post url, not it’s content and echo that into a link:

    “>link text

    Thanks in advance!

    the code didn’t show, now it should:

    <a href="<?php the_post_link ?>">link text</a>

    Figured it out myself; but understanding the “published” status part was key. Thanks again!!!!!

    In case anyone else needs something similar. 

    <?php
 $dd_post_id = 1;
 $dd_check_post_id = get_page( $dd_post_id );
 $dd_post_url = get_permalink( $dd_post_id );

  if ($dd_check_post_id->post_status == 'publish') echo '<div><a href="'.$dd_post_url.'">'.$dd_post_title.'</a></div>';
?>
