sorry typo, places on the one page i mean

Thanks for your patiences,

OK, I ll make it basic, and keep it simple ??

lets say I have one page…

it needs to have dynamic text in 5 pages.

Where do I store the text?

I have the page created and displaying as my homepage, all works fine,

text 1 my main text is displaying correctly as it is part of the page called “home” in wordpress.

I have used this code to display it.

<?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
			<?php while(have_posts()) : the_post() ?>

           		<?php the_content(); ?>

            <?php endwhile; else : ?>

                   no posts

        <?php endif; ?>

Where do I go from here, its my understanding that I store my data the posts section and then read these posts in to the page in sections,

for example

text 1 — comes from page
text 2 — guessing comes from posts
text 3 — guessing comes from posts
text 4 — guessing comes from posts
text 5 — guessing comes from posts

ok,

so I have a number of html pages to be converted to work press, all content needs to be editable,

so if i have for example 5 pieces of text to be tied and displayed on this page, what is the best way to display / store it.

I add a post and read the posts in to my page no?

I have one piece of content coming in which is what i entered in word press on the page section, ie home and then some text below it,

This is the main text I have displaying.

Now I need to get some more text, for other sections of this page

Hope this make sense

OK, how do I apply a post to a page / read it back from that page so?

Now I am lost ??

Sounds good Chip, I have the following now working,
`
<?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while(have_posts()) : the_post() ?>

<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php endwhile; else : ?>

no posts

<?php endif; ?>
‘

This displays the text which is on the “page” however I need to get access to the posts / categories,

For example I have made a category called home, which I plan on putting all the data for the home page in. Does this make sense?

Thanks Chip,

I know this might sound stupid / lazy but emm how ??

I know how to add a page / a post and I know there are a heap of ways of getting the values back, getblog etc,

What the best way

Some code / a direction to go would be great just had a long day of wrestling with this and still unsure

Thanks you so much for your help / guidance

Thank you so much for your help,

Its working perfectly now, I am guessing this was a common enough error?

So in summary, what you done was take the pages array explode it, take the elements i need and disregard the rest, I think what I was doing was trying to keep the format that was returned and it messed up

Thanks again for your help

basically, I dont know wordpress and as a project to learn it i was given an existing sites mark up to convert to wordpress, the css for the navigation focuses around the targeting of elements inside the strong tag,

Here is the css I need it to obey

Access key will change but can be in sequance, 1 – 6

#nav { float: right; list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
  #nav li { float: left; margin-right: 1px; font-family: Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; }
   #nav li a { display: block; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; padding-right: 4px; background: url(images/menu-bcg.png) 100% 0 no-repeat; text-transform: uppercase; }
    #nav li a strong { display: block; padding: 0 6px 0 10px; line-height: 30px; font-weight: normal; background: url(images/menu-bcg.png) 0 0 no-repeat; }
	#nav li a:hover,
	#nav li a.active { background-position: 100% -30px; border: 0px solid #000; }
    #nav li a:hover strong,
    #nav li a.active strong { background-position: 0 -30px; }
   #nav li em { position: absolute; left: -10001px; top: -10001px; }

Thanks again for the help

Perhaps i am going the wrong way about what I am trying to do,

I have a list of pages in wordpress and i wish to make a navigation bar out of them, the navigation needs to look like this,

<li><a href="./" accesskey="2"><strong>About us</strong></a><em> [2]</em></li>

The code above is an adaptation of

https://www.wantusiak.com/wordpress/wordpress-modify-wp_list_pages

Sorry again if this is really obvious, and thanks for the help

<?php

				$my_pages = wp_list_pages('echo=0&title_li=&depth=1');

				$pieces = explode('"', $my_pages);
				$i = 6;
				$j = 5;
				$limit = count($pieces);
				for (;$i<$limit;) {
				$tmp1 = '><strong>'.$pieces[$j].'</strong></a></li>';
				$pieces[$i] = $tmp1;
				$i = $i+6;
				$j = $j+6;
				} 

				$tmp2 = implode('"',$pieces);

				echo $tmp2;
   				// echo "<!--".$tmp2."-->";

			?>
			</ul>

<li><a href="./" accesskey="2"><strong>About us</strong></a><em> [2]</em></li>

Is what that look likes
