I am experiencing this problem as well. Our database has spaces in the name, as well as an apostrophe.

What’s the status of the fix?

get_a_post() worked great! Thanks.

I think the description field might be too “short” – I’m thinking of either a paragraph or a bunch of short lines separated by returns (depending on what the client requests), and probably with a link at the bottom to an actual page with more in-depth “about” info.

I suppose I could use either a page or a post as the content, as long as I can prevent that page or post from showing up in other lists, categories, archives etc. I just thought that kind of exclusion would be easier with a page (exclude it from “Pages”) than a post (which would have to be excluded from multiple places.

I just wish I knew how to explicitly query and retrieve a page into a PHP array. Guess I could hand-write the query (horrors!)

mysql_query("SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_status='Static' AND post_title='about'");

But that seems so “un-WP-like” ??

Huh – well it seems to have fixed itself. I didn’t do anything. But I’m scared it’s going to come back so I’m not marking it Resolved yet.
