WordPress lets you create pages that contain static content. The Talks and About pages on this blog are two examples. Unfortunately, until now you could not include posts inside of these static pages. With my new Inline Posts WordPress Plugin (version 2.1.2g) (2KB), you can!
See the SWX Showcase and SWX documentation pages on swxformat.org for an example of the plugin in use.
In a nutshell
Download and install the plugin and you can include posts in pages (and other posts) by entering the Post ID surrounded by double square brackets ([[nnnn]] where nnnn is the numeric ID of the post you want to include).
Why include posts in pages?
The ability to include posts in pages is something I've felt the need for several times in the past. Basically, the idea is to use posts as sections within a page, with the post title appearing as the section header.
Most recently, I wanted to create the SWX documentation for the SWX homepage as a series of blog posts. This way, each section could have comments on it and I could easily update a single section by editing a post and change the order of sections on the page by changing the order of simple tags that correspond to the posts. I could also show atomic last-modified info for each section so it would be immediately obvious if any sections drift woefully out of date (something that can easily happen to long pieces of documentation).
Since this functionality didn't exist (and believe me, I searched far and wide on the Internets), I decided to roll up my sleeves and try my hand at creating my first WordPress plugin. It was not a difficult process once I tracked down the hook I needed to latch onto and blew the relearned regular expressions for the umpteenth time.
Installation
- Download the Inline Posts WordPress Plugin (version 2.1.2g (2KB) and unzip it into your wp-content/plugins/ folder.
- Log into your WordPress administration panel, click the Plugins tab, and click the Activate link for the Inline Posts plugin.
Using
- Start writing a new page (or edit an existing page)
- In the place on the page where you want to include a post, enter the ID of the post, surrounded by double square brackets in the form [[nnn]].
That's it! :)
You can also include posts in other posts using this method (though I'm not entirely sure why you would want to!) And, since pages are really just posts (confused yet?), you can use the Page ID to include a page in a post or a page in another page too if you really feel like that will make your life better! :)
To see an example of it in use, look at the WordPress page on this blog as you will see this post included in it. Note that this is the first version of the plugin and I'm testing it out as I go. It's only been tested (and not much, at that) on WordPress 2.1.2. I've tested it on 2.1.2, 2.3.x, and it's running well on 2.5. That said, use at your own risk! :)
I hope this plugin will be as useful for you as it has been for me.
Related plugins
If you'd like your wonderful new pages to show up in searches, install the Search Pages 2.0 plugin. The two plugins work together well but you will get included posts returned as well as the pages in which they are included (which is expected behavior). Even if your pages are entirely made up of posts, having them show up in searches within the context of the page is still useful.
Finally, you may not want the posts that you include in pages to appear on the front page of your blog (or perhaps, not even in your site's feed or in the archives). You can exclude inline posts from these places by using the Ultimate Category Excluder (UCE) by Kyle Slattery. Install this plugin and then put all the posts that you don't want to appear on the main page in a separate category (on SWXFormat.org, I chose "Documentation" as the category to exclude). Then, in the Options panel for UCE, check the "Exclude from Main Page?" option next to that category.
Known issues
For some reason the number of comments on a post is not displaying correctly on WordPress 2.0.2 (on this blog). It does display correctly with 2.1.2.
Changelist
- Version 2.1.2g: (August 28, 2007) Added automatic table of contents (TOC) creation for pages. If you want the TOC included in a page, use the tag [[ TOC ]] (without the spaces). Also added Top anchor links for easy navigation from TOC to topics and back.
- Version 2.1.2f: (August 27, 2007) Anchor tags are now added to topic headings so you can link to specific topics on a page in the form: http://myblog.com/somepage/#post_id as in the following example: http://swxformat.org/documentation/#85).
- Version 2.1.2e: (August 25, 2007) The plugin now removes HTML comments and the linebreak before the initial double bracket so that these don't cause WordPress to display additional <br /> tags in the output.
- Version 2.1.2d: (August 25, 2007) Raised priority of the plugin so that it doesn't conflict with other plugins like the CodeHighlighter plugin. Also removed an error_log trace that would have resulted in large log files (the plugin no longer outputs any debug information).
- Version 2.1.2c: (August 24, 2007) Added "Edit Topic" links so you can edit an included post in a page without having to click through to that post first.
- Version 2.1.2b: Added admin panel and option to set the tag that the titles of posts are displayed in (h2, h3, etc.)
- Version 2.1.2a: Changed default tag to [[nnn]] from [nnn].
- Version 2.1.2: First release.

Sorry, Nancy! I’ve fixed it now :)
I think this may be exactly what I’m after. Does this work the other way around too, i.e. can I include the contents of a page in a post?
Just a heads up: I’ve updated the plugin to version 2.1.2.a (I’m keeping the latest WordPress version its tested with as the main version and tacking on a letter for the revision).
With this version, you need to use *double* square brackets. This is so that it doesn’t conflict with array syntax in code if you have code samples. Previoulsy, something like var a:Array = [2]; caused post 2 to be included.
Please use this latest version, especially if you have code on your blog.
@Olly:
Pages are really just posts, so yes: If you include the Page ID in a page or a post, you will get the page included too.
Wonderful, thanks. I’ll give this a try later :)
Nice plugin! Thanks!
Update 2.1.2b gives you the ability to set the tag that you want to use to display the titles of posts. It defaults to a H2 tag.
Hey aral, thx for that.
I was looking for this for ages now :)
I will try using it with

It should rock :)

Argh! This is exactly what I needed when I designed a new site with WordPress a month ago! :-)
On my personal site, http://stevemooradian.com , I used pages/posts within pages to control all my content sections via the tremendous WP admin interface.

plz reply asap
minal
Hi Minal,
I don’t have 2.2.2 installed currently so I’m not sure if that’s a problem with that release. Have you unzipped the file that you downloaded?
Question, could this be changed up to work off category id’s instead of post id’s? Say for example you you post something in a particular category and you want a page to reflect everything that is posted in that category.
Hi Craig,
It’s definitely possible to do what you are asking (include all posts in a category in a page) and I do see the use in it (I was thinking that’s how this would work initially, but then I realized that I wanted control over the order in which posts appeared).
Actually, the ability to display all category posts is built in to WordPress so a separate plugin to display all category posts as a page should be very easy to write. I don’t think I’ll have time to get round to doing this though.
Great plugin!! I have a question though. When I create a post it shows up in the “main” blog page. I can add it to other pages without any trouble using the [[x]], but how to I get the post to ONLY show up in that page and not in the “main” blog page?
Thanks!!
Hey Aral,
Your stuff is working great. there was some minor error which got sorted out.
However now my problem is that with ur plugin our posts show on the other Page that we want to but they even show on the homepage of posts. I mean they r duplicated. Can i have the posts show up ONLY on the Page I want and no where else??
That would be great help actually
I am working on my school’s website- http://www.devashishsankul.com
If you visit the website you will notice that the ‘What’s New?’ page has been allocated as the posts page. But what I even wanted the student’s to write posts and those posts to show on ‘StudentSpeak’ Page.
Now with Inline Posts it does happen but the posts even show on the What’s New page. So then it does not make sense. Please let me know if i can do something about it.
Thanks for such a beautiful plugin!
Minal
Hi Minal,
The best way to try and achieve this would be to tag a post with a specific category (wish they called them tags, really, in WordPress) and then filtered to not have posts in the category displayed on the blog.
I found a plugin called Category Visibility that does this but apparently it doesn’t work in WordPress 2.1 and above.
I want to write a plugin to do this but I’m not sure I’ll have the time before my hectic conference speaking schedule kicks off this month.
Maybe there already is another plugin that lets you do this? If you find one, please let us know here too! :)
Hi Minal,
OK, I found the plugin we need, it’s Ultimate Category Excluder (UCE) by Kyle Slattery.
Install this plugin and then put all the posts that you don’t want to appear on the main page in a separate category (on SWXFormat.org, I chose “Documentation” as the category to exclude). Then, in the Options panel for UCE, check the “Exclude from Main Page?” option next to that category.
You can see the plugin in action on the SWX homepage.
[...] WordPress Pages normally contain only static content but the pages in the SWX documentation are a collection of posts, strung together by their post ids using a plugin I wrote called Inline Posts. [...]
Is there a way to display categories contents on specific pages?
Hi Neil,
Unfortunately, not with this plugin. In fact, I’m not sure how it would work in any case (or what additional utility such a thing would provide), as a category display is already included in WordPress. And, with a category display, you wouldn’t have the flexibility of ordering the posts (unless it supported sort order filters on specific attributes).
Hi Aral. Really liked your plugin. I hope you don’t mind, but I used it to build another one. You can check it out here:
http://www.meramenteilustrativo.com.br/wordpress/
or see it in action here:
http://www.meramenteilustrativo.com.br/trabalhos/
What it does now, is it allows you to add all posts in a particular category at once.
Would like to hear from you. Maybe we could share some ideas on how to make it even better.
Hi Rodrigo,
That’s really cool! Someone was just asking about category support. :)
Hi Aral!
Fantastic Plug-in!
I have a question:
How do I remove the following from showing up along with my post:
“Last modified –. — comment. Top.”
I’d like to keep my posts simple and clean on the page.
Also, is there a way to only show a limited amount of text from a post, such as up to where the “” tag is used?
Thanks!
Okay total novice here, I downloaded Inline tonite, and its installed, the newest version. Do I write the location of the page [[5]] in the visual or code part when I write a post, I tried it and it didn;t show up anywhere. Second question what was the improvement made on the first version? Thanks very much. TS

Hi just wondering if there is anyway to get this great plugin to work the ‘more’ tag?? thanks in advance!
Dali:
In the plugin’s php file, I commented out the following:
''.$lastModifiedText.' '.$commentsText.'. '.$topLink.'. '.$editLink."".That left me with an open “a” tag (following an “a name=” tag), so I added the editLink and the topLink back in below the comment:
''.$topLink.''.$editLink."".Not very elegant, and it doesn’t strip out all the metadata (Top is still there), but it does get rid of most of it
Aha. Found the source of the open “A” tag, so I don’t need the toplink with its closed tag to close the open one.
Comment out the lastmodified and etc, as described above.
Then look a couple lines up in the code for:
$postTitleText = "<$titleTag>$linkToPost$postTitle$anchorTag</a></$titleTag>";
To fix it up, drop another </a> tag in after “$postTitle”:
$postTitleText = "<$titleTag>$linkToPost$postTitle</a>$anchorTag</a></$titleTag>";
A little cleaner than my previous effort.
Hey Aral!
I was looking for a plugin/hack to include all posts of a category of your choice on a page (yes, i know: ‘Category/catName’ does that, but I wanted something where i can put some more info).
I knew about your plugin so I thought I might adapt it to my own needs, and so I did.
I change a few things, and added a function.
It now checks for [[cat:15]] -like tags, replaces it with all post-tags in that category, and then continues to your function where posts are included into the page/post.
I just wanted to thank you for your work again :)
If you’re intrested, I’ll mail it to you :)
Greetings
@Lars: Glad to hear that you figured it out. I will try and find some time to add this to a future version of the plugin.

Hi Martijn,
Sounds like an issue with your deployment server. Are you seeing any errors in the error log?
It’s a windowsserver and I now have problems with another wordpress site on that same server. Now just hope that I can persuade my client to switch servers.
We recently featured your plugin on our website wpcandy.com and a person named Jai commented about on the fact that if you have a post that has the MORE tag in it, when using your plugin to put the post on another page it does not display the MORE tag.
I thought this was a very good find and perhaps in later versions there maybe a fix for this or an option to include the MORE tag or not.
Thanks Michael.
Thanks for the bug report Michael, I’ve made a note of it and will look into it. (Thanks also for featuring it on your site) :)
You are quite welcome ;)

Would it be possible to change the time format to the one my blog page uses? Aswell as add posted by author and posted in category? I have tried and have had some luck with author but it is always glicthy. Ie I am trying to skin this post exaclty the way the blog page skins the post? Could we not just call up the commentform and title from the single.php?
Could you update this for 2.3? I really like it and it seems to be the only thing out there like it. I’m surprised it’s not pur of wordpress now. Anyways, when I activate it it makes my text spread out into the sidebar. Thanks in advance for any help you might give.
@Mike, @Dave: Hey guys, I’m currently on the road, speaking at a conference in LA. I’ll look into making this work with WP 2.3 (after I upgrade to it!) on my return — apologies in advance if it takes a little while :)
@Dave: Yep, I agree, it would be very nice to see this become part of WordPress.
I absolutely love this plug-in, but I’m also wondering if there’s any way to edit it so that I can use a similar timestamp and “By Name” format that I use on my primary blog page? The page has multiple authors, and it would be great if at least the author name can show on the timestamp at the very least. Again, I really appreciate the plug-in, thanks for creating it!

Hi Aral,
figured out how to use it… wasn’t too tricky.
On my sermons page, http://fbcwaynesboro.org/wp/sermons I have included sermon notes and broken with more tag. Now, with the inline posts plugin, the posts appear on the sermon page, with full text of note, and no mp3 file to play, unless you click on the individual post.
I’ll play around a little more;l but I’d like to see an excerpt of the notes, with the sermon MP3 file that could be clicked on and played on the sermon Page. If people wanted to read more, they could go to the full posts.
Any advise?
Thanks again, this is a really needed plug!
Oh…. one more thing, I’m using podPress.
Hi Dave,
I just upgraded to WordPress 2.3.1 and I’m not seeing the issue you’re describing (it’s working perfectly for me.) Could it have something to do with the theme you’re using, I wonder.
Thanks for posting back Aral, perhaps this is theme-related… I’ll take a look there. This is a great tool! Thanks again
Hi again Aral…
would it be incredibly difficult to somehow modify this to insert code for a single category… rather than single posts?
I have been trying to figure out a way to use a conditional tag; so far, your plug has been the only thing that really works; it just requires going into the page and adding the tag fo each post added… seems like this could be tweaked; although… I’m really not a pro, in fact, I’m still a beginner with WP!
Thanks again!
Hi All, hi Aral,
I suggest to add these lines to Aral code to show all posts of a category. You have to write category ID number in brackets, instead of post ID number. I hope this help. It is the only way to merge pages and categories. I think to add static code page to category template it not a suitable for general users.
// Get the Post IDs to include. Post IDs are in the form [nnn].
preg_match_all(‘/(?ID;
$i = $i 1;
endforeach;

Hi Massimiliano,
where exactly does this function need to go?
I think I follow you; but just needed a little more detail.
Thanks, David
Hi Aral,
I am a total newbie to wordpress and landed on your page because i wanted to include posts in a page.
Your plugin sounds fab… but my first question is where can I find what version of wordpress i am using?
does this work for blogs at xxxyyzz.wordpress.com?
and lastly if it does work for the my sort of blogs where can i find the wp-content/plugins folder?
I knw i am a total newbie… but don’t know where to go for help!
Esha
I followed the directions to the letter. It doesn’t work at all for me. I am using a very recent version of wordpress. I just get a bunch of bracket characters and the like.
Hi David,
the modification works fine for all sites. You have to replace the function you find in my txt file http://www.margaron.it/d/massimiliano.txt, inside the Aral php file (in other words, you have to find this function inside php code and replace it, but don’t touch the code before and after). Then install the modified plugin following Aral instruction. That’s all!
Massimiliano
Hello all, I found the Inline Posts plugin (thanks very much Aral) after wanting to include posts within a page. After thinking my project requirements out, I realized I wanted to display a specific category of posts and decided to use Rodrigo Rutkoski Rodrigues’ Composite Post plugin along with the Improved Include Page plugin.
Ideally, what I want to do is remove as much of the coding side of things from the client as possible and make their site really easy to edit.
I wanted to have a listing of News posts displayed on the Home page of the site and remove the need to put the inline posts code within the Home page because this would look a little sloppy…
So, I created a News Page and put the inline posts code there to include my entire news category. Then I used the include page code to include my News page in the desired spot in my page template if and only if a user is on the Home page.
If the client has new News to post, they just create a new post and it will appear on the Home page!
I guess it’s still a little sloppy having the inline posts code in the News page, but I thought it less sloppy than having it in the Home page where they will be more likely to edit the text. I’ll just tell them to not edit the News page! :)
The only thing I’m missing in my setup is the ability to control how many News posts are displaying… I haven’t really taken a look at the Composite Posts code too heavily but there must be a way to do this (somehow in the // select posts from category section). Say I wanted to limit the # of posts displayed to 3 so the News section on the Home page doesn’t end becoming a huge list. Anybody have any ideas?
I’d be glad to share more about how I implemented this if anyone wants to know.
Cheers,
Jonah
Hey it’s me again, I just figured it out – 5 minutes after I posted my question!!! To limit the number of posts returned in the Composite Posts plugin just find line 111.
Change:
$posts = get_posts("category=$catId");To this:
$posts = get_posts("category=$catId&numberposts=3");I just added &numerposts=3 to the get_posts function. You could change 3 to any other number.
This is just the regular WP get_posts() function and you can use all the other arguments too!
Cheers,
Jonah
Hello,
great plug in. Installed without a hitch. My question is the same as Trevor’s above. When adding a post, I want it to go directly to a subpage and not display on the Homepage. They way it is now, I create a post, note the post id. Then [[x]] the post on the page I want it. Then it still shows up on my home page. Any way around this?
To Eric and Trevor: To achieve your request you would need to modify the way the wordpress loop is returning posts. You can exclude certain posts from the main loop via information on this page – http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop
Search for excluding posts, its pretty easy to implement. If you want to exclude the posts returned only on the home page you will have to step into Page Templates and create a specific template using the exclude code above for the page you want to exclude posts from and then an ordinary template for your other pages where you don’t want to exclude posts.
WordPress is a very flexible system and if you just search around a bit and read some of the documentation on how it works you will understand a lot more.
Good luck!
hi, really nice plug-in (i include post in post, post in page, page in post…funny!!!)
a single question, there is a way to include only the first part of the post BEFORE the — more — option?
thank you
Awesome plugin man! Thank youuu! :)
Great plugin. I scanned the comments above to see if the “more” tag is available. It would be great if that option could be included. Thanks for writing such a useful plugin.
Awesome plug-in !! I’ve been hacking away all week trying to find a solution to this problem – cheers.
Aral, does it automatically re-write the H1 header tags as H3′s or is that a manual task in creating the composite page (eg: “showcase”)
Hi,i try to install on WP 2.3.1,but it not working, will it support 2.3 and above?
@barry.b: You can choose which tag is used for titles in the administrator, under Options -> Inline Posts.
@apad: It’s running correctly here (http://aralbalkan.com/wordpress) under WordPress 2.3.2. What’s the error you’re getting?
Hi,
I am not sure if you can help I run http://www.wearevilla.co.uk I am pleased with my blog page but I want to say post a post and it go to the news page as well as the home page any ideas?
This plugin is the solution for my site. It really works great. However I have a problem. If you got to http://www.linux.dropbike.com/ you will see that black bar accross the page that does not belong there. It includes the last post. It only happens when the plugin is activated. It happens with other themes as well. Not in the same way, but something gets messed up. WP version is 2.3.2 and plugin version is 2.1.2g
Thanks
@Kevin: Just use the plugin. It does exactly what you describe! :)
@Marko: I can’t see the black bar. Can you send me an email to aral at this domain with a screenshot (or, if you can activate it and let me know, I’ll check.)
Aral,
Firstly, thanks for a great plug-in! I have a few questions, why wont my post’s formatting get carried over to my new pages? I post the most recent post on my main page and then [[nnn]] it into my appropriate page, but I lose my original post formatting.
I work hard on my post formatting, and my photos in the posts, why won’t they show up like that in my new pages? I love working with this plugin, I just need my posts to look like they do when I originally write them!
Thanks again Aral, we all appreciate your time!
Great Plugin!! This will be getting reviewed on my site very soon as I think people really need to hear about this one.
@JoNathan: Thanks! Looking forward to reading your review :)
Aral, thanks for this wonderful plugin. I was looking for something like this for a long time.
Firstly,people who were interested in making posts show ONLY on a particular page and NOT on the home-page can use the ShowOnFrontPage plugin. The URL and more instructions can be gathered from http://www.richardgoodwin.com/wp/2005/01/08/new-plugin-showonfrontpage/.
My Wishlist for the Road ahead.
Wishlist
1)All articles posted to a specific designated category get automatically posted in a section.
2) All articles posted to a specific designated category DO NOT get displayed on the home-page (optional)
3) I would also like to see pagination on the page where the Inline posts plugin has been implemented.
4) What one really needs is some kind of a dashboard in the Options area of WordPress so users can tweak the settings according to their requirements.
I am implementing this plugin on my website and would like to come back here for your thoughts and advice.
This is a great plugin in concept. I do, however have some thoughts about how to improve it (which I might work on myself and submit my code to you and/or publish a modified plugin of course giving you full credit (with your permission). The main intent I think here is essentially to have all other pages just like the main page, with their own chronological posts. I don’t want the posts to appear on the main page, which I took your advice and used the UCE plugin for. However, I would like the Recent Posts on the main page to include posts made on other pages which it doesn’t using the IPP/UCE combination. Second modification I would make is rather than have to hard code the post id into the page, modify the template for the manage->posts themselves to include a widget on that page that allows you to choose on which page(s) that you would like the post to appear. E.g., call the widget box “Pages” and list it to the right above Categories by default. Let me know your thoughts. Great job!!
I couldn’t get UCE to work with WP 2.3.2, so I kept looking for other options. I might’ve found something that could work for you, Sean. Check out http://zeo.unic.net.my/notes/exclude-category-in-wordpress/. This uses a function to hide a category and works in WP 2.3.2. BUT it still counts the hidden category on the home page. So, if your “show at most” is set to 10 and you’re hiding 5 categories, only 5 categories will show up. However, the posts to that hidden category do show up in the “recent posts” list.
Thank you Aral for creating the Inline Posts plug-in! It’s perfect for blogs within blogs!
I am using this wonderful plugin for a book review/summary blog within my blog. Since I am rather verbose, those reviews are long and I’d like to use the “more” feature to avoid including the whole posts on the page (see http://www.rabe.org/book-summaries/). Unfortunately, like many others here, I cannot get “more” to work. I gathered from the discussion that this is theme related, so I dug into my theme to try and figure it out. Well, I couldn’t. This is the loop I am using: (let’s see if I can get the code to post…)
< ?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <h2 id="post-< ?php the_ID(); ?>">< ?php the_title(); ?></h2> < ?php the_content("Continue reading " . the_title('', '', false)); ?> < ?php wp_link_pages(); ?> < ?php edit_post_link(__('Edit'), ' ', ''); ?> < ?php endwhile; endif; ?>I thought that the_content() the way it’s used here allows me to use “more” but it’s not working and I have no clue why. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks so much!
Rachel
Aral: One suggestions about the plug-in – you might want to consider including a footer that’s automatically added to a page that’s using your plug-in that gives you credit… I’ve manually added that to my page…
[Edit: Aral][I just added the code to your post, above, Rachel. Thanks so much for your kind words and for adding the credit line to your blog -- I appreciate it! :)]
Oh, I was afraid the code wouldn’t post right… Let me try again…
<h2 id="post-">
<?php edit_post_link(__('Edit'), '', ''); ?>
I apologize but I am obviously not getting this to work… I am using the code tag… So let me just post the function:
the_content(“Continue reading ” . the_title(”, ”, false));
If you need to see more, please let me know how to post that… Sigh.
Whoa! This is teh total awesomeness!
I didn’t even know this is what I was looking for (I’m kind of code-challenged–mind just don’t work that way) but as soon as I saw your examples, I immediately got an idea for it!
Thanks. What a fortuitous stumble!
Is there a way to get a particular post to show up on a designated page, but not have it show up on the front page (main blog page).
Dov:
Aral suggested to use the Ultimate Category Excluder. I couldn’t get that to work right with WP 2.3.2 (it displayed my oldest posts first instead of the recent ones). So, I resorted to the trick described here. This is far from optimal since it still counts excluded categories. I did a lot of updating on one of my excluded categories yesterday – and ended up with a blank main page!
Rachel
Hi Rachel,
A quick thanks for your valuable input.
Please feel free to email me directly if you want me to post the code you had issues posting on the blog earlier.
thanks a bunch aral! i’m going to reach for a reason to use this, no idea what I plan to do but i’m really excited to use this!!! eiiiiii! thank you again!
Hi Aral
This is just what I need for an IT support site I’m developing. I’m constructing short topics as posts for people to quickly find a specific piece of information and then combining these topics into structured pages with a TOC using this plugin.
One issue I have is that it would be nice to have one post per page by inserting a page break in between. This is easy enough to do manually and works nicely except that the TOC only lists posts embedded in the current page. If it were possible to generate a TOC for all pages that included the page number it would be really great. Not sure if multiple TOC’s are posible, but I’m thinking along the lines of a repeating pattern of [[ TOC ]] [[nnn]]
Wrapping the inline post in a div would also allow for custom formatting of the post if someone wanted to visually indicate that the post is included or wanted to add some extra formatting to the post title to help distinguish between posts.
Iâm thinking along the lines of a repeating pattern of
[[ TOC ]] [[nnn]] [page break]
[[ TOC ]] [[nnn]] [page break] etc…
to give a multipage doc with a TOC at the top of each
Aral:
I’m really enjoying being able to embed posts within posts (and pages within pages) on my business site. I think it really helps with the user’s experience and keeps them from having to click around so much. (yes, the site is still in draft because i got caught a little unprepared when i terminated my relationship with my old internet host). For example, being able to provide pricing for my offerings within the offering descriptions is a great enhancement to also just providing straight pricing pages for those who want immediate access to the bottom line.
One thing I noticed, though, is that if you embed a page that has a page embedded already, Inline Posts doesn’t render through the chain of embeds. The place I just noticed this on is at the bottom of:
http://shadowmoon.com/services/weddings/wedding-package-details/
Note the clear-text reference to page #79 just beneath the “Private Event Coverage” secion. Now, in retrospect, on that particular page, I don’t want the pricing information for private event coverage to muddy up the presentation, so I’ll be changing that anyway. But it does show that embeds of embeds don’t work!
I can see programmatically where that embed chain could get messy to render and why it doesn’t necessarily make good sense to do it. I suppose it would also be just as inelegant to comment out the second embed. What do you suggest for these situations?
I’ve noticed that private posts to your blog can be included using this plugin and seen by anyone, should this raise concerns about the general privacy of posts marked private or is it a rather nifty way of skipping the use of UCE? I mean UCE is currently buggy with wordpress 2.3 (with the ComicPress theme) so this works a dream for me, allowing me to make the posts I need without dirtying my actual rants/entries.
More on the more tag problems… Apparently, WordPress does not honor that tag on pages other than the front page. There are suggested work-arounds, the most promising seems to be here. Although I still can’t get it to work in WP 2.3.3. Does anybody have any suggestions?
For your information. I have come across a problem similar to that reported by Marko on January 19, 2008 .
When I activate your plugin, the titles of all posts on my wordpress site are replaced by a black bar.
I am using WordPress 2.3.2 on Fedora Core8 running the latest XAMPP package. I use the Prosumer theme.
I tested your plugin with other themes and find the problem reported is theme specific. I have not yet had the time to figure out what part of the prosumer code is causing the problem.
Hey Aral!
You’ve got a nice plugin here, I’ve been using it on my site too. Though I’ve got a little problem. Somehow, when I’m using IE or Opera, the page gives a 404 message when I click on the post’s title, and doesn’t show the full post and the comments. I’m including posts that haven’t been published, only drafted and it works fine in Firefox. Is this the plugin’s fault? Could you suggest anything for the problem?
You can check out my page clicking my name and then clicking webdesign on the navigation menu and see the bug for yourself.
Okay so i figured it out. Without logging in as an admin, you can’t read a drafted post in full, it’s not the matter of browsers lol. I don’t want to publish these posts cause they are supposed to be shown on a desired page only not on the blog, but i would like to allow comments. Any suggestions on that? Thanks
Aral,
First great plug-in. Here’s my problem – I’m trying to set it up for a personal hiking journal on my family web site. When I embedd Gallery 2 link code into my post and then link the post using [[20]] on my journal page, Inline is apparently stripping the Gallery 2 code and I’m stuck with just the link number as text on the page.
for example:
823 is the insert to link a photo gallery in a post.
Inline is returning just the “823″ and stripping all the gallery tag stuff out when it formats my page. Any thoughts?
Thanks.
haha it looks like your Inline code just stripped my Gallery code example from my comment :) doh.
let me try again:
(div class=”g2image_float_left”)(wpg2)823(/wpg2)(/div)
After all this time…
I finally found you…
Thanks for the plugin, friend
I’m gonna start using it, but I have to rebuild now
^,^
Wow… I got a tell you once again,
Thank you very much
It runs very well in my WP Version 2.3.3
I really appreciate it
I noticed that inline is adding
tags to every post. This was creating some extra space in my posts, so I changed this line in the file:$content = ''.$content;to this:
$content = ''.$content;Then I made a display: none entry for the class “hidden” in my css file.
Has anyone else noticed this problem?
Arrghh I don’t know how to make the code show up. But what I did was embed a p tag with a class of hidden and an a tag with a name of top before the content part. Don’t forget to close both tags, or the whole page disappears because of the css mod.
Bummer- I actually just had to deactivate it, because it conflicted with the kPicasa plugin.
Jeremy, I’m having the same problem. Happens on all my static pages too, any ideas yet? I originally tried the same thing you did, noticing that it was adding extras. No luck.
Is there a modification or config within this plugin so that the comments and the comments input form can be included with the inline post? We’re trying to create a podcasting site, and want to encourage all visitors to post comments. Generally, people are more likely to post comments when the comments and the comments form is presented. And so, we’d like to have that right on our homepage.
This plugin is exactly what I need and have been looking for.
I know this might be a stupid question but is the Page ID something like example.com/?=4, the defualt setting?
If so, I have Pretty Permalinks and I have no idea what the hell my page ID’s are.
I tried entering [[example.com/sub-example]] but it just comes up as text on the page.
Anyone got any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
Thank you in advance
Using WordPress 2.5. What the hell is a post id?
Well, whaddya know! It’s at the end of index.php/blah, blah, blah, p=x. Where x= the post ID.
Look at the url that comes up when you edit posts from the manage posts screen. It’s the number at the end.
I must be really weird. In my limited little mind, finding the post ID seems like an important point. Nowhere is the term “post ID” visible.
Cool plug though!
Hi Aral
I downloaded your plugin onto my site and activated it, saved the options, etc. But no matter what I seem to do it doesn’t show. I note that there is conflict in what you say to do, on one page you say to start the post with [[nnn]] nnn being numbers, on another that I looked you say use [[nnnn]] I did try both. Should you also end the post with [[nnn/n]]? or use it just at the beginning?
Should the code look like this : -
[[nnn]]Project blah blah blah
Would be grateful for your assistance. It could be that the Tarski theme which I run on 2.3 might not accept?
Great plugin. I am curious how to elude duplicate content penalties using this plugin. Perhaps its setting up the categories differently but currently, if I inline a page to a page, the original page will display under the “Parent Category” as well as its own page creating duplicate content. Any advice?
So this plugin displays pages within pages/posts
It does not display posts in a page.
If it can, please let me know, thanks! ;]
Hi Aral,
I just noticed that inline posts isn’t interacting well with Galleries in WordPress 2.5. I think it is picking up the [gallery] tag and getting the images from all posts/pages on the current page. Don’t quote me on that!
@Belinda: by nnn, I mean the numeric post ID (e.g., 123, 54, 1230, etc.)
@Charley: I haven’t tested it with the Galleries plugin (I don’t use it). Ideas for how to work around the issue?
Interesting plugin, thanks for sharing. I’m in sort of a predicament now with my theme and I was wondering if anyone knew the solution to this, maybe there is a plugin out there that I don’t know about.
I want to display on a sidebar, categories only for pages, and recent posts only on post pages. Is that possible?
Thanks,
Roy
Aral, you need to close a tag on your WordPress page (you’ll see when you get here). :-)
@Roy
Umm… if you’re aksing what I think you are it’s insanely simple. Go to WordPress.org and start studying theme template files.
nice work…similar to wiki
Maybe I’m missing something here, but how do I display ONLY one post in a particular area? My home page has mulitple areas where I need to display posts. Below is the code that I have, but it displays all the posts in all the areas. I know I’m doing something blatantly wrong here, but I can’t seem to get it to work.
This plugin is very useful, but generate many errors on validation…
ciao

I also was wondering if there was a way to hack into your plugin to get the button when writing a post to work. I am completely lovin your plug and have used it on almost every page on my site, but I am pretty long winded when it comes to writing and would love to give my readers a snippet of a longer post, that way they could have several posts on one page to choose from to read.
I have the category excluder plugin and have tried hacking around with that – I was briefly able to change category id’s to post id and my idea was to be able to have a plugin the complete opposite of the advanced category excluder, like a page includer. In hacking around a bit – I was able to get my pages and posts to show up on an admin panel (like the ACE dashboard) where i could check the box next to each post if I wanted that post to show up on that page – but after checking the boxes, nothing happened. It also kept triggering a fatal error in the links of my nav bar – something about the header path, and not being able to replace the header? I don’t know. I thought I might ask if you had any ideas or any desire to look into getting the more tag and the recent post thing working?
(See, I told you I could get long winded ;-)
Hi Aral
Great plugin. Bet you are busy but did you ever think of extending it as a tool to display posts from a specific category only?
The function would take a category number and number of posts and then display them using the content of loop you have already coded.
There some plugins that already do this by category but none display the results as elegantly as your plugin.
Cheers
Matt
Aral,
It seems a superb plugin, however I cant seem to use it as I should. I am a novice on code but I did download it and am using WP 2.5.1. The settings are set to h2 however whenever I enter a new post wanting it to go on a different page it fails and goes on the front page, can you help tell me what I am doing wrong?
Best Regards
Wasim
Hi
It’s a great pluggin, although i do have a problem. The post was posted well on the page i wanted but the post title disapeared. Is there a way i could apear?
Thanks
Thanks for this Aral. It’s great for adding a post that relates to a specific page.
Great work. Thanks for that Aral.
Aral…
great plugin & lovely website… I hope to be in Brighton in September – we can talk musicals!
Have a small issue when using InLine Posts:
When embedding a post in a page, the resulting display includes a date, and links for comments & Top. How can I get rid of these?
An example page is: http://www.renee-rauchalles.com/red07/lesung_aktuell/
whereas the original page is:
http://www.renee-rauchalles.com/red07/lesungen/lesungen-2008/
Thanks
Peter in Munich
Aral!
Discovered I could just ‘out code’ the lines in the coding!
Sometimes things are far easier than expected!
Cheers and thanks

Mise à jour 2.1.2b vous donne la possibilitÃĐ de dÃĐfinir le tag que vous voulez utiliser pour afficher les titres de postes. La valeur par dÃĐfaut est une balise H2.
Hi Aral!
have you tried to use your plugin with qtranslate? because iÂīm trying and when i publish a post to a specific page iÂīm having the following problem:
first in the top of the content area is showing a black square and below instead show just the title in the specific language it shows [lang_br]title in portuguese[lnag_br][lang_en]title in english[/lang_en]… any clue?
thanks,

I am using this plugin on a wp2.5 site with complete success. However, it pulls “pages” rather than “posts” on this new wp2.5.1 site… any suggestions about how to workaround this?
Thanks!!
The work around for wp2.5.1: The hierarchy “includes” pages along with posts. If you have pages as well as posts the pages take priority over posts. If, for example, you have 3 pages and 3 posts the last post may be pulled by using [[6]] rather than [[3]]. (..though it may be [[7]] as [[0]] may pull page#1…)
Thanks again!
Ed
More on the more tag…
I am still trying to get this to work although I think that I am closing in on the problem (I’ve thought this before, so who knows). According to the last comment here, the more tag cannot be forced to work with the get_post function. It can be forced to work with query_posts function, which at least in the theme I am using, has to have at least one argument.
Aral’s wonderful plugin uses get_post on line 90. Could it be that this is why the more functionality doesn’t work? (And believe me, I’ve tried just about everything I could find. This seems to be the most promising approach.). Can anybody get this to work using the query function? If so, could you share what you changed? I am way beyond my hacking capabilities and trial and error just produced strange results…
Thanks!
Hi,
Excuse my ignorance but where do i find the numeric id that you mention, for the post im writing?
Brilliant, I was beginning to pull my hair out but you’ve produced a fantastically simple tool that will make the world of difference to me!
Thanks
@Ronny, Aval, All!
Firstly Aval – good job on this plugin, its priceless, and Ronny, good job on improving an already amazing plugin! – JUST ONE PROBLEM…
im ready to poke myself in the eye with a fork!! – ok this might be a theme issue, but basically I have set up an extra page on my site, which is being treated as a tab, so it seperates a category to a seperate page. Now the only problem is that for example i have 9 posts in that category, but when i select the category in the page – [[cat:nn]] – it only shows me 5 posts. missing 4.
PLEASE help!!!!
Thanks.
Basicly a good plugin, but it is very disturbing that if a blog had a Continue reading, that this isn’t shown and so the blog at the page is very long..
can you fix this..
Thank you for the plugin, somekind of plugin that I’ve been searching for.
I’ll try it first and give my comment about this plugin.
Once again thank you for your hardwork.
I’ve tried it. It works !
Thanks Aral,nice to know you ….
Hope you can inform me if you have other useful plugins for my wordpress homepage.
have a picture how to place [[nnn]] position
i still don know how to use it.i already activate that,but dont know hou to use
please!! if anybody have a picture how to place [[nnn]] in new page,in need that….many times i tryin to use this plugin but still can’t.
i already activate and when i put [[nn]] after write in new page..it show
“Last modified on GMT. 0 comments. Top. Edit topic.”
but i cant edit topic and can’t comment.
please advice me i,how i make my new page like “SWX documentation”
Thank you for the plugin. I use it on my blog after changing the source. Unfortunately it causes in all posts a “” what is no valid HTML, if there are more posts on a page, because id should be unique.
Cheers Helmut
Hi
Great plug-in which we are using on a school community blog we are creating. One thing we can’t do though is get it to display on a static home page excerpts of posts inline rather than the entire content. Does anyone know of a work around. We’d like to use if for excerpts so we can display a variety of content on our front page from categories and other posts within the blog.

Hey dude, nice plugin…
Would you be able to add this to the plugin.?
You know when you go to type a new post and below the post there is an option to input tags, right…
Well, what if your plugin created an option below the tags function that allowed you to assign the post to any page you have created. You could archive the post on a different page that is related plus have it show up in the main blog posts, as per normal….
This way you would not have to deal with post counts.
What do you think?
Mike Hill
Hi Aral. Nice plug-in. Unfortunately, I face the same problem that a lot of people seem to have with the more tag not working when posts are inserted into pages.
I notice some people have spent quite a bit of time trying to work around it. If there were a solution, it would be absolutely perfect :)
If there is one in the pipeline, I’m looking very forward to it.
Cheers
Mike
Great plugin, Aral.
Quite simple, but very useful. I use it for a client whose needs to do this kind of posting inside a page/post thing.
But if anyone is looking for some more advanced stuff, take a look ate the query_posts() function at http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts , or even the WP_Query class at http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query, this one probably what Aral used in this plugin.
The query_posts() function (or Template Tag as WP Codex refers to) overrides the default query of a page, post or category, being able to get the whole loop of all posts inside a page. I used it in my News page, as I don’t want the front page display all my posts (I made my front page an About Page). The Codex have a very nice documentation about it. Check it out if you need something more advanced.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts
First of all, thanks for creating this plug-in.
Before it was working but recently just yesterday, all the posts for the existing page where all [[nn]] is located – disappeared.
I was wondering, if there’s an existing bug that affected this. Or if this has happened to anyone. I also updated to WordPress 2.6 a few weeks ago.
Is there a current update on this plugin for 2.6?
I appreciate the help I can get.
Thanks!

Hi there.
Great plugin.
Not sure if this is a bug or not but…in my posts I have a ‘more’ break as some can be quite long. When using this plugin in doesn’t use/recognise the ‘more’ break so the whole post is displayed. Can make the page v v v long.
Should it recognise a ‘more’ break? or not? If not, can it?
Thanks
Is there a way to password protect the posts once they’re moved over?
Hi Aral,
I’m trying your great inline post plugin and I was wondering if you did find a way to display the MORE tag for posts that have them? I noticed that other people had asked about this before but haven’t been able to find how to do it. Thank you very much! Taira
Just wanted to say thanks so much for this plugin. It has already saved me so much time. In my website I have several distinct sections, sort of like a collection of mini-sites. I’m using this plugin so that I can just make one page with all the links to each other page within a mini-site, and for the entertainers links, that way, whenever I add new talent, I just have to update a couple pages, rather than all the pages on my site! This is totally awesome!!!
Oh, one thing you might want to add if you ever create updates to this plugin, a way to not display the page/post title. I just made my pages that I’m using with no titles under each section, but that can get confusing.
Thanks Aral for a great plugin! For me, it really makes sense to have a plugin that has an inline category page option. (F.ex “Welcome to my static recipes page! These are my recipes :”, then every post in category “recipe” automatically gets posted to that page) I’ve read through the comments and tried out some of the suggested way to do this, but WordPress has been through a lot of changes the last few months and I haven’t found a solution that is working still. Downgrading might let me use one of the solutions above, but it’s not really a desirable solution.
I have some understanding of php, but it’s quite basic. Can anyone help me?
Hey I am trying to use your plugin for the news but it adds scroll bars, is there anyway of widening the width or is that to do with my theme rather than the plugin. cheers
Is there a way to have the last or latest post be embedded?
So that the post that is in the page is always the last one that was posted?
I want to remove the “Last Modified..” line completly including “Top” and “Edit” I have commented out “$lastModifiedtext…”, “$commentstext…”, “$topLink…” and “$editLink..” However, I am left with an extra line where they were between the post title and content. This line has two small dots or dashes in it. Any idea how to get rid of them and close up the space between the title and content of the post?
Thanks for any help.
Am I doing it wrong? I put [[23]] before my post on my page and not only does that “[[23]]” show up before the post but it duplicates it? Go to my ride tab and see. I’ll leave it there for now so you can see.
Thanks!
Could these be WP version problems?
I’ve seen a few of them myself.
Aral, your public need you. (Please)
I noticed a bug. After the header with the post title, the next bit with “last edited… 0 comments. top” etc, does not having a closing P tag at the end. This is messing up the display of some posts, with the first line just appending to the end of that administrative line.
test
Thanks for the plugin!
I have one suggestion. I don’t think that the plugin should modify a post unless an inline post tag is present. Let me explain:
I think that insertion of a ‘[[]]’ tag in a post is a statement of intent that the plugin should be active. Leaving out such a tag is also a statement of intent – that the plugin should not do anything.
Since this plugin seems to be advertised as facilitating “local” changes to pages/posts through a special syntax, it makes sense to me that it should not act “globally” (as it does now when inserting ‘top’ elements) when no special tag is present.
One dead-simple way to make this happen is to add a simple condition at the end of the ‘includePosts’ function that checks whether ’0 < $numMatches’ before modifying the passed ‘$content’. I have made this change on my installation and, while I have no test cases, it seems to work alright.
Again, thanks for the useful plugin!
thanks a lot aralbalkan
InLine Posts is great for letting me organize by page, reserving cagetories
to control ratings script.
However, insertion of was ignored.
How else might I control v-space?
I updated category on a post which was Inline.
Post on page now says “Uncategorized” instead of new cat.
How do I manually fix, or fix plugin?
“{The plugin now removes HTML comments and the linebreak before the initial double bracket so that these don’t cause WordPress to display additional tags in the output.”
I WANT TO CONTROL V-SPACE. Give me back this ability.
It looks bad for posts to run together. At least one blank line at the bottom would help, but I’d rather have that control.
Hello – I am fairly new to WordPress, but have been using it a lot in the past six weeks. I have been using your inline plug in for all of my posts with no problem until last night.
I wrote a post, published it, and then went to add it to the appropriate page, just as I have been doing regularly. Then when I went to look at the page, all the posts on it were missing. Just the title and “share this” icon were left. I deleted the bracketed post number and the page returned to normal.
I then created a new page, put in the post, and it worked fine.
Is there a limit to how many posts I can add to a page?
I can’t figure this out.
Is there a way to possibly have a category inserted into a page instead of a single post? I would like any posts assigned to a category to post to a particular page.
Inline Posts is a marvelous and extremely useful plugin. Sad to say, however that with the latest version of WordPress, 2.6.3, Inline Posts breaks the XML feed. I’ve tried every trick and only when Inline Posts is activated is the feed broken.
The website is http://www.principledpolicy.com. The message is “column 0: XML parsing error: :918:0: junk after document element” Line 918 appears to be a table of contents that I’m not using.
Any ideas?
I mentioned a problem earlier about certain posts causing certain pages to go blank. I’m noticing now that the problem posts are one in which I insert graphics. I tried inserting just the graphic into a page between inline posts, and the same thing happened — all the text disappeared. Now I’m even more confused about what’s going wrong here now. It worked okay a few weeks ago. Why not now?
one of the best plugins.. thanks for that!
Hi, I had been trying out your plugin on a page, but didn’t actually use it anymore. However, my wordpress blog would no longer validate and it took me a while to figure out that your plugin was the problem. I don’t know if anyone has pointed it out to you yet (sorry, am not going to read over 160 comments) so:
The plugin adds an id to the first paragraph: Unfortunately it self closes, too. This will cause multiple errors when trying to validate at w3c; problems with the id, problems with the actual closing p tag that is now closing nothing and therefore not valid.
Anyway I hope you can fix it for anyone who uses this and doesn’t understand why wp pages won’t validate ;)
Good luck and keep up the good work!
Oh, yeah, of course it strips the html from this comment.. well.. it adds a top id and a backslash in the p tag.
(sooo soo sorry, I meant slash, please moderate me if you like)
Hi Aral and all,
How can i do if i want only the title (with a link to the post) and the date instead of the complete post ?
I want to use this plugin to insert the related posts after the content of my pages.
Thanks (and sorry for my poor language, i’m french….)
Hi,
I tried the plug in. I am using WP 2.6 and for some reason after i put the plug in on the site – my screen freezes and I can not post.
Any help woudl be appreciated.
So, here’s a question, how do you remove the “Last modified on 2008-11-26 11:38:33 GMT” line, because it’s looking wonky, because it’s covering half of my post’s title, and I don’t understand why?
Thanks for this plug-in! It’s really helpful!
Is there a way to modify it so that only the title of the post is displayed, rather than the entire post itself?
Can you please explain what a post id is where to put it. I cant figure it out! Please put in the instructions.
hi, I may be missing something. I uploaded plugin, activated. When I write a page with [[2166]] i get nothing except [[2166]]. I am trying to make a front page for my site to include top blog or top story. I think i understand this does this. ok what am I missing :D

This looks almost perfect for what I need. Is it possible to include multiple posts, all posts, or specific category posts?
Thank you,

Great job on the plugin! I’ve been using it quite a bit, but have experienced several issues: 1)breaks the W3C validity of the page (really unfortunate!), 2)I’ve figured out how to slightly modify the IP loop to get rid of the .$lastModifiedText.’ ‘.$commentsText.’ but I would love to know how to further modify, because I would like to include the author’s name in the output.
Perhaps in the next version?
Thanks Aral!
Damon
Very helpful plugin! Thanks.
I have one question. Is there a way to keep the inserted post from showing up on the front page and have it only show up on the page I want to insert it in?
Like so many others have already said, Thank You for this plugin. It is very helpful.
And yet, I am not able to use it because it lacks the ability to recognize the ‘more’ tag. If only it could recognizt the more tag, it would be so much more helpful, but as it is, it will not adequately serve its purpose.
I notice you haven’t responded in quite a while. Does this mean the plugin is not being developed further?
It would be nice if more tag were recognized, if validation were fixed.
Nice plugin, but unfornately it is not compatible with xLanguage-plugin (http://hellosam.net/lang/en/project/xlanguage) that I’m currently using.
I want to put a catagory of posts on a page. Can i do that somehow?
Hi Aral, I am a longtime user and fan of your InLine Post Plugin. I recently changed my wp settings to label posts and pages with headline text, a change from the numbered system. Your plugin appears to work only with the id numbers. Is there a way to obtain the id number of the post with the settings on “pretty urls” without needing to switch the settings back and forth? Thanks again for your great work.
Looking forward to hearing back about Jim’s question!
I was hoping to do the same!
Great work already!!
Hi Aral, thanks for the great plugin.
I want you to consider adding this functionality to the admin interface of your plugin (or make page specific options) :
- don’t show post title
- don’t show “last modified”
- don’t show # comments
- don’t show “top”
- don’t show “edit this”
For now I’ve just removed all this from your code, but it’s going to be inconvenient if I wanted to let the plugin auto-update itself in the future!
Thanks again.
Hi Aral,
thank you for this wonderful plugin!
I’ve got a problem:
I’m using the More Fields plugin ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/more-fields/ ), but if I include a post in another, the custom fields don’t appear!! what can I do to fix it? :(
I MUST use that plugin… :(
Thank you,

hey aral!
thanks for this plugin. i’m completely new to this whole wordpress thing and have been tinkering with various things, and i just want to make sure i’m using this plug in correctly.
on my reviews page on the menu tab in the header, i want to create a list of reviews of bars in the neighborhood.
i have an additional plugin that creates a review-like template.
now the only thing is i want to make the reviews page work.
how do i use your plugin and make this work. i’ve installed everything, but just want to be sure.
sorry for being a newbie, i just need to know how to just include these reivews in my reviews page, and for them not to appear anywhere else.
help!

Hi. Think this is what iam after want to add posts to a page, but the post that I am adding I do not want it to appear on my homepage, just the new page created….Will this plugin let me do this???
Apparently, people want the Category use, but there have been no viable solutions. It seems Aral may have abandoned this whole thing as his last comment was in #113 on March 1, 2008.

[...] out a wonderful pluggin that pulls a post into a page. This one is called Inline Post by Aral Balkanm.,I was actually searching a utility like this since I started working on wordpress. However this [...]
Aral thanks for this nice plugin and i added two functioanality to it. I now you gave permission to develop it (like Ronny’s message), i complated 1st stage and i want to share with others..
Actually i don’t now PHP enough, but i am trying to learn and i am using this plugin so i wanted to make it better, so i’ve complated first update (v 2.2.0), with this update you can localize Inline Post plugin and you can excerpt it (e.g. let only first 250 character will be seen for each posts) and you can define this value from Options page. But there is a little problem here: When you excerpt your posts (it does’t take title of posts into acoount) it cuts the code part, i mean for example your 195. character of post is <a href=”http:/….. then it cuts from f of href and <a hre will be seen in the end of your post.
In Addition: When you excerpt your posts then an extra ‘See All…’ mesage will be shown with link to post…
I wish you’ll like it.
Best regards to All…

I would love to be able to have the choice to include the full post or just an excerpt (like Alper, above mentioned). Maybe in the future when you get some extra time?

Take the line of code out of the .php file that reads:
$lastModifiedText = ‘Last modified on ‘.$post->post_modified_gmt.’ GMT.’;
also, take out ‘.$lastModifiedText.’
Hello Aral,
I’m using your plug-in for creating a blog on my website, it works great! In the beginning I posted an image (max 25kb) with every post day by day. After doing this for 5-6 weeks, the page went blank. After moving the oldest week in an archieve, it was solved.
After a crash, I stopped (temporarily) with these images and found out that now I can add more than 6 weeks per page. Is there a possibility for changing this option so I can add pictures without limitatons? Or do I have to search wihin WordPress?
Thanks, Dennis
Øīا؊
Thanks for this plugin works great. I had one question if anyone can help out. I was wondering if i could use this plugin to update a page with the latest post on my blog. So instead of just typing in a post number, it would dynamically update with whatever my last entry was?
Anyone?
First of all, thanks for this fantastic plug-in: it is a kind of christmas gift. But i have a problem. I would like the inline post have the same apparence of a ordinary post, with the same footer. But instead, the post’s informations that appears in the footer, in the inline footer appears at the top, and the footer is the footer of the page. Is there any way the inline post have the same look of a ordinary post, exactly the same?

Mike T,
I tried it on wordpress 2.8 and it’s saying page not found, any idea why? I didn’t publish the page because I am testing online immediately but after I installed the plugin, activate it, created a new page and then i did this:

is there anything wrong with what i am doing?

Any chance that we can get an Idiot’s Guide please? I notice a lot of people new to WordPress and coding in general are pretty much being ignored when they ask for help.
I’m also extremely new to it, and I’m trying to read up as much as possible, but I’m lost in the sea of documents. I’ve installed the plugin but I don’t know where to find the post id or where to include [[ID]]. Can anyone help?
So I found out how to find post id, where the post ID goes and how it works. I created a new post: wrote my text; added [[446]] after the text.
What this did was put all of the text from page 446 onto the front page as a new blog post. Also, when I went to page 446, there was no new post – only the post that was there before.
So, I went to edit Page and added new text to the top of the page and added [[446]]. What this did was duplicate the new text on the page.
Firstly, there was the new text, but [[446]] was also showing on the page.
Secondly, the text was repeated as a separate post on the page but without [[446]].
I don’t want to edit the page in this way, because it means adding the text to the original text in the edit window. Rather messy.
What I wanted to do was:
1. Create new post – i.e. like you do when posting to your blog.
2. Automatically post the new post to page 446.
Any ideas?

Hello Aral-
Thank you for creating an extremely useful plug-in!
I am only having one little problem:
I have a 3 column float and
for some reason inline posts plug in messes up my right column
called #sidebar.secondary
It makes my right column jump up about 6 pixels in
firefox 2 (pc)
IE8 (pc)
firefox 2 (mac)
firefox 3 (mac)
Opera
Safari
Weirdly, it is fine in:
IE6
IE7
I took a look over the .php page for the plug-in but nothing stood out except that one of my main divs is called content….
Thank you!!
Hi,
How do you get rid of the timestamps showing when the post was last modified? Thanks.
This plugin is a miracle!
Thanks Aral :)
Aral,
How do i remove (or at least rename) the Sub-Navigation menu that appeared in my side bar when i installed your plugin?

re Inline Posts Plugin for WordPress, ver 2.8.4
“And, since pages are really just posts (confused yet?), you can use the Page ID to include a page in a post or a page in another page too if you really feel like that will make your life better.”
%postname%/%post_id%/ numbers posts, not pages
so how can you make a page appear in a post — other than by copy?
I think that Erio already asked this question, but is it possible to have this function dynamically, ie, have all the posts from one category posted on a specific page? Thanks man.
Hi Aral,
I can confirm this plug-in also works with 2.8.4. One minor issue I have not sorted out yet is translation of the theme. Seperate posts ARE translated in the theme (not the content, but the theme stuff). Inline posts show the theme-stuff in english (default language). Is this a bug or does your plugin also require some sort of language setting?
I love the concept of in-line posts. This way you can organise/control your webstructure by using pages and subpages, yet fill them with content from your posts.
Thanks for putting such a valuable tool into the public.
Thanks a lot! This really helps me to expand my website to the next level.

Looks really cool. This had me curious at first and kinda stumped on why you would want to use it, but I think I can see a few reasons why I might really like it… I’ve got a feeling that could use this on a current project ;)
Thanks!
I see that an often request is to not show the Title, Last modified and Comment-link.
The easiest way to do this, and to do it clean is to change line 120 in the plugin’s php file and edit it to:
$text = $postBodyText;
//$text = $postTitleText.''.$lastModifiedText.' '.$commentsText.'. '.$editLink."".$postBodyText;
$text = $postBodyText;
For some reason, in my categories list, every post is shown, rather than just the ones assigned to that category. I am new to wordpress, and I am wondering if this has something to do with the inline plugin?
For some reason the Plugin doesn’t work when I use PHP 5 in my server.
I have a page with a long list of inline posts and the MAX number of inline supported when using PHP 5 is 57.
I disabled PHP5 and is working fine. Other than that METZUIAN! :-)
Any idea?
Thanks for this useful plugin. But it does not work with WP 2.8.5 How can we fix it.
I’m running WP 2.8.5 on a WIMP server and everything works well with the exception of this plugin. For some reason the front page goes blank after activating it. For kicks I changed the permissions on this folder but this issue remains. I’m reading through the comments and wanted to know if I missed something?
Any responses appreciated.
Hi Aral where can I find the id of a post, what does it look like?
Kind regards,
Danny
Thanks for sharing~
Thank you Aral! You created a plugin that should be a standard WP feature, don’t you think? Glad you get to be the creator, because it will lead people to you who will help with your other excellent projects.
Dear Aral,
I wanted to use yourgreat plugin, its ideal for what i had in mind..
But although it is working, it is somehow showing the header of my template again on top of the included post…
http://www.campingdestriene.nl/website/contact
This is the url, can you please have a look, or someone else and help me to fix this problem…
Thanks in advance,
Daan
Solved!
The plugin points to “Top” which is already used in my CSS for the header.
Made: Class=”Top3″
Thanks for the plugin!!
Daan
Hi there Aral,
Cool plugin; I have however a doubt.
Could it be possible to show only the title of the posts, instead of the whole posts?
Thanks in advance
I wish someone, anyone would fix the “more” tag.
Some very interesting and insightful thoughts. I like this.^_^ because I have a blog about gifts too.
Hiya,
I have 4 pages in addition to the home and about pages. I’d like to create blog posts that I assign to those specific pages (so the posts DON’T show up on home page but on those pages) Does your plug in handle that?
Hello, this plugin is unique would be great if it could be updated to work with wordpress 2.9 thanks !
LOVE THIS PLUGIN! Man – I googled for EVER for something like this – a buddy told me about it – WELL DONE!
hello i just switched over to wordpress to conduct my website and online magazine. i really want to be able to multiple posts on my static pages i was looking for your inline posts plugin and i cant not find it. can you direct me to another plugin or a way to do this.
“We recently featured your plugin on our website wpcandy.com and a person named Jai commented about on the fact that if you have a post that has the MORE tag in it, when using your plugin to put the post on another page it does not display the MORE tag.
I thought this was a very good find and perhaps in later versions there maybe a fix for this or an option to include the MORE tag or not.
Thanks Michael.”
did you solve it?;;)?
Hey! Great plugin.. any plans to ever do another update on it or are you leaving it as is?
Question from a paypal rookie: where do I find the post IDs?
Hi,
I just activated your plug in today, and when I did, I noticed it put in some extra lines of space between the title and pictures in my top 4 posts? When I deactivate the inline posts plug-in, the space disappears and the posts look normal again? Any ideas what might be causing this? Thanks.
Jamie
Is there a way to show the comments under the post rather than as a link above the post?
hi i have been trying to use this plugin but the problem i face was that the Post ID, i am not able to get the correct ID as if i go with the post published it does not work.
help me
Hi there, I wanted to let you know I could not easily find this plugin in the wordpress plugin directory, and given it’s high high high level of fabulousness, I hope you can get it in there! Worked for me, thanks !!
Inline Posts, c’est exactement ce que je cherchais . . depuis 1 mois !
Awesome plugin, it has been working great for me! It took me a while to find one like this that I wanted, Thanks.
Love the plugin. Nice work. Any way that it can import custom fields for those of us with visual themes that have picture urls associated with custom fields?
Great Plugin, many thanks! A Little Help please. The reason I wanted to use your plugin is because I really need to add a read more to a page that is not a post page, but it seems that in this area the plugin doesn’t behave like posts do where one can add a readmore. Please advise if i am mistaken. Take a look the my home page of my site. I would also like to remove the date and admin links at the top of these posts.
Many thanks in advance.
Tamsin
you’ve solved so many problems I was having with this one little plugin…. now my project is speeding along! thx
A suggestion for this wonderfully elegant little plugin:
Include the ability to display not just one static post, but all (or a finite number) of posts either in a category or with a tag.
This would, in effect, make the pages a combination of static and dynamic content, which could be very useful for some people.
On my site, I needed to have the pages describe certain groups, and then give a short digest or recent tags attributed to them. I found this, and was sure it was the magic bullet. But alas…I ended up having to install an inline PHP plugin and do it via a kind of ugly hack.
Oh shoot. I see just to the right of this post someone else suggesting the same thing. I hope you are able to find the time to implement it at some point, it would be really useful, and, it should be a pretty easy modification to the plugin..basically, just replace the static “The_Content” call with a “query_posts” call and then use WP’s “The Loop”. Then specify different ways to call the function depending on if its ID, tag, or category they need. I’m a total n00b and I managed to hack it out in about twenty minutes, I bet you could bang it out in ten :)
P.S. For anyone needing to display a list of posts by tag/category instead of just a single post:
1) Install the “Inline PHP” plugin.
2) Copy and paste this into the HTML of your post/page:
[exec]
$num_posts=5;
query_posts(‘tag=yoga’);
$i=0;
if ( have_posts() ):
while ( have_posts() && $i<$num_posts):
$i++;
the_post();
echo "“;
the_title();
the_time(‘F jS, Y’);
echo ““;
echo “”;
endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_query();
[/exec]
The num_posts is the number of posts to be displayed, you can just set it to a million or remove the “i++;” line to display all of them. Change the “tag=yoga” to “tag=blahblah” or “cat=6″ to select a certain tag.
Like I said, I’m a n00b, and should be considered pseudo-code. It’s a barebones solution that only provides the title and the time of posting, one per line. The biggest problem with it is that it is COMPLETELY unstyled. It will just look like ugly little characters, and won’t blend in with the rest of your site.
I’ll leave the styling and adding other information up to you as homework :P But it’s too late now, I’ve got to go to bed.
To read more about how to add different fields (content, author, etc.) in, and how to put the proper divs to style it nice, read this page:
http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop_in_Action
To read how to do more advanced queries, for instance for two different tags:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts
Oops. It ate up my code. This is how it should look. Just delete the * s.
And reiterating, this probably not the best way to do it, nor the prettiest, most complete, or efficient. But it’s a way that you can make work if you fiddle with it a bit.
[exec]
$num_posts=5;
query_posts(‘tag=yoga’);
$i=0;
if ( have_posts() ):
while ( have_posts() && $i<$num_posts):
$i++;
the_post();
echo "”;
the_title();
the_time(‘F jS, Y’);
echo “”;
echo “”;
endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_query(); [/exec]
Hey, sorry for spamming the board. You can delete my last two comments, the HTML was stripped out of them, leaving them useless. So, I wrote a blog post about it (haha..my first blog post ever!)
So, for Craig and maybe a couple who wanted to append a dynamic list of newest posts by tag to the end of a page, I explained how to do it here:

*Awesome plugin*
I was planning on coding something like this myself!
*Thank you*
Question: if I want *just* the text of the post displayed, how do I do this?
At the moment, it shows the title and other editing links
I want to remove all of these
Thanks

Hi
II’m very new to WordPress and just found this wonerful plugin. I installed it okay, but am lost now. Do I first just write a “post” (which automatically shows up on the front page), then by inserting the number of the post [[xxx]] on the page where I really want it, move it there? I cannot seem to find any number to the posts! How do I number them in the first place?
sorry for the newbie question
ilse
I think I have it!! I changed the status of the past to “Draft”, which seemed to remove it from the front page but still have it show up on the page where I want it (news & vies). Is that how it’s supposed to work?
ilse
Hi Aral, thanks for this plugin, appreciated. I just have the small problem that the post appearing on a subpage no longer follows the generic CSS styling for posts appearing on the home. I am using a theme. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hi There,
Is there any way to add all posts from a category into a page? eg. [[catname ]]
I am putting together a site using wordpress as the cms so my whole site structure is based on pages and sub pages (lots of them) I would like to be able to syndicate new content, as it is added, via RSS to my readers and also as some content may be pertinent to multiple sections, I would like to not have to duplicate content or link out to another section. To be able to add all posts form a given category, to a page, would be really handy.
I’d like to have a four layer blog – i.e. I want to blog about several inter-related topics but have my post on separate tabs categorically, so our readers can focus on what they’re interestd in:
our ministry
volunteer and donation needs/opportunities
our family
our adoption process
So I’m going to download your plug-in and try it – my question is – do the posts have to show up on the front official blog page as well as on the individual category pages or can you just post them to the page you want and not to the general page?
This is awesome! I can’t believe that WordPress doesn’t have something like this built in… It really made me question why I would use WordPress and not just build a website and use a wysiwyg editor.
Will the More Tag ever be recognized or is there a way to make it work?
Thanks

Hi Aral –
Downloaded and unzipped your Inline Posts and received the following message: ‘Incompatible archive PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature’. I am assuming this is because I only have the newest version of wordpress – but wanted to make sure?
Hi Aral
Cool plugin, just what I was after.
Tell me, how can I get rid of the “Last modified on 2010-04-05 21:18:44 GMT. 0 comments. Top. Edit topic. ” that gets place on the posts when they are inserted in a page? All I want is the date “April 5th, 2010 ”
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Have you updated this for v2.9.x of WP?
Also, does this support displaying only the excerpt?
Aral, is there a way to make this include an entire category, instead of a particular post? On my present website, my developers have done it, but I am playing around with my own self-hosted blog and can’t find a plug-in that works this way.
For instance, because I am a real estate agent, I write about the different communities I service. I have created a landing page for each community. On that community page I have inserted some static info about the community and beneath that, all the posts that pertain to that community (category) show up.
You have a great smile, btw! I hope you use it often. =)
Bull shit!!!
Hey, just wondering if you can tell me how to debug something. I’m using Inline Posts and for some reason when I’m not logged into the site the blog post content appears to be underlined until I mouse over it, and then the underline goes away. Where do I go to edit this? Thanks for the great plugin!!
thanks for the plugin aral. I will try it :)
I think I have a nice work around for the “More” or “More Tag” issue using Excerpt.
Effect: The content you want to show up on the page is actually the post excerpt with a “Read More” link at the end which will bring you to the post page. This won’t automatically move the page down to where you left off unfortunately and you will have to copy and paste what you want to show up into the excerpt box when editing the post instead of just inserting the more tag.
How to do this: Replace the following code when editing the plugin: $postBodyText = ”.format_to_post($post->post_content).”;
with the following code:
if (!$post->post_excerpt==”)
{
$readMoreLink= “$linkToPost >Read more”;
$postBodyText = ”.format_to_post($post->post_excerpt).$readMoreLink.”;
}
if ($post->post_excerpt==”)
{
$postBodyText = ”.format_to_post($post->post_content).”;
}
Effective Documentation: If there isn’t an excerpt, it’ll go ahead and put the entire post (which you can change to set to ” if you rather nothing show up). If there is an excerpt, it’ll post that instead with a ” >Read More” link at the end of it. You can delete the carrot in the $readMoreLink declaration if you don’t like it.
I hope this solves the More issue for most of you guys
Any if the plugin will ever accept the More tag or know of anybody who did it?
Thanks~
Thank you my friend. This is awesome. You have no idea how long it has taken to find something like this.
Warm regards,
Jade
Hi Aral,
When I read WordPress said I can have a post or page, I lost hope. Then I saw your in-line plugin. An excellent solution.
I initially setup my site for custom permalinks (category/postname) as I didn’t want to use WordPress’s obscure numeric post ID’s.
Does/can your plug-in support referencing other than numeric ID (e.g. daily-blog/really-good-post vs. daily-blog/465) ?
My current permalink is /category/post_id) and it’s working great within my pages. Hoping for a more descriptive link.
Bill
Hi! GREAT plugin! Thanks!
Is there a way to disable the
Last modified on 2010-04-16 16:25:36 GMT. 0 comments. Top. Edit topic.
that is automatically inserted after the post title?
Thanks!
I am trying to use this plugin but I am having trouble with it. I am running the 2.9.2 version of wordpress and I know this was for the older versions. If you know of how I can make this work in the current version of wordpress that would be very helpful
This plug-in is great. I’ve been trying to code this functionality by myself with no luck unfortunately. I guess it’s not that hard to do it, I just didn’t have enough experience working with PHP.
Very useful plugin. Thanks. No problem so far.
Figured out the MORE issue (well it seems to work for me :) )
I installed the PJW Page Excerpt plugin and edited the code in the inline post plugin from this
$postBodyText = â.format_to_post($post->post_content).â
to this
$postBodyText = â.format_to_post($post->post_excerpt).â
The title of the post is clickable taking you to your “post”.
the only trouble with this way is you have to manually write the excerpt.
Now I have to work out how to get each individual excerpt to display in the nice little boxes like the blog page. Anyone any ideas?
Hi Aral,
The plugin was a good one. It worked out correctly how i wanted. thank a LOT!!!!!!!!!
I have a issue can we use this plugin if we have multiple themes and how??
PLEASE let me know!!!!!!!!!
http://linuxandall.wordpress.com is my site which I have implemented you plugin on. What do yall think?
thanks Aral, this is just great, i intend to make a page with a sub-Submit page. so the “Page” will display post from “Submit Page”. This plug in is just perfect. Thanks A lot
where do I find the ID# for the posts on wp? thank you
Hi!
I have a probem builing my WordPress site.
I have made pages and subpages, and if someone leaves a comment on e.g. a subpage, I would like to have it displayed at that specific subpage, not in a Blog for the whole website.
Can this be done with this plugin, or am I wrong…?
Thanks!
Bart
hey. how r u?i,m new in wordpress.can u tell me how i put plugins in page.plugins are showing code i,m putting it page->edit->about on page content but code showing as it is(code). will u help me plz.
[...] Aral Balkan · Inline Posts Plugin for WordPress (tags: plugin wordpress) [...]
hi Aral! this plugin is the answer to my needs! just one question, is this compatible to WP version 2.9.2? Thanks!
that is great plugin. i used for last 2 months its amazing.thanks
I am creating a new blog and came across this plugin of yours. I am a little new so I am just wondering…. how do I find my Post ID that I am supposed to but between the brackets [[???]]
Thanks
I would love to see the functionality of this be just a bit more robust. I currently have edited the plugin to include the excerpt rather than the entire content but I would like the ability to be able to do both AND the ability to just post a link. At the moment I use this plugin for all three uses (posting links, excerpts, and entire content) but it means having a copy of the entire post as an excerpt when I want to display the entire content and having nothing in the excerpt area when I want to have just a link.
Thanks for such a great plugin by the way, it has been such a great help!
This plugin killed our website.
As we have a large site with numerous pages for each product we used it to specify a single post that could be used across all product pages.
This is when the trouble started, the site would continuously go slow and bog down until it killed apache. It created a 7.74Mb error log with errors every time someone visited one of the pages using the inline post tag.
We are running a VPS on apache using plesk 9.3.0. The error logs in apache were always as follows :
[Thu Jun 03 11:44:58 2010] [error] [client *clients IP*]
and
[Thu Jun 03 11:41:25 2010] [error] [client *clients IP*] Where to buy
Where the 916 above was the post number we was calling, and the ‘Where to Buy’ is the post title
Once we narrowed the problem down, removed the inline posts plugin and the site is now running normally again and error logs clear.
May be something worth looking into for the next revision
Just what I was looking for. Great plugin! Thanks!
hmmm. does this have the ability to drop an entire category into it?
For example, say i have a series of blog posts about “Trucks” .. could I have a page that has all the usual information, but thena dynamically generated insert of all the blog posts that have been in that category, instead of single posts?
this make sense?
Thanks Aral! I found this very helpful. I’m a Flash Designer that never really liked HTML much, but I’m just now learning PSD to XHTML conversion, and found this plugin amazing for keeping my web tutorials on a separate page then the home page. I guess there is probably an easier way then manually updating a specific page, but until I figure that out this works like a charm. :)
Hmm the problem with the plugin is that i have two posts when i use it. One on the main page and the same in the pages page. Any idea to solve this problem?
Hi Aral,
Thanks for the plugin which I have treid to edit so I could remove ‘last modifieds, comments, etc’. But there is an issue that occurs in doing so. All of the post text becomes a link. I found a discussion here http://wordpress.org/support/topic/343970 but this doesn’t resolve the problem. Can you or anyone on the comments list suggest a solution.
Thanks
Hi Aral,
After a bit of a slog getting the plugging to work how I would like, I can fully appreciate it.
Thanks
How do I know my numeric id. Because the plugin’s not working
thanks for the information, it’s very useful :)
Hi, first of all nice plugin :)
I have a suggestion which could potentially build on your already great work…
Would it be possible to adapt the plugins functionality so that instead of posts being inserted onto the page where a specific tag is written, the posts are only inserted if a user clicks onto something which has the specific tag. E.g you could have a list of post titles each tagged with the [[nnn]], so that when the user clicks on the post, it reveals the post content.
I guess this would need to be handled via AJAX?
Anyway, thanks again for a great and useful plugin.
Rich
You’ll have to excuse my general newbness. You’re plug in is exactly what I need to make one of my pages work, but I don’t even know what a post id is. Where do I find that?
Thanks
Hi Aral, this looks great. Is it compatible with WP 3.0?
Hi Aral,
Thank you for the plugin.
There is a useful enhancement for your plugin to display all posts in a *category*.
You can find the enhancement here:
http://www.dotdragnet.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=935a7a6385f27cbd3f4ef3bf7c5ee52c&topic=3161.msg28231#msg28231
If you will include it, then please also mention to add the line:
add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘includeCategoyPosts’, 1);
at the bottom, since it’s not mentioned in the original forum.
Regards,
Gal.
A perfect plugin just in time for my latest project. I need this feature for my client who is organising contest on a monthly basis on her blog.
With this plugin, she can post the latest contest on going and that post is going to be on the ‘Contest’ page.
Thanks a bunch for a thoughtful plugin and now I need to keep my fingers cross because my client is running wordpress 3.0.1 :)
Hi Aral,
This is just what i’ve been looking for for an FAQ page i’m working on.
I am getting a return on the posts by following your instructions but I do not get the title headers as a list at the top.
Am I not doing something I should? I have a custom built template, what should my loop request look like?
Thanks
Jenna
Hi, thanks it works! Small size of plugin but spectacular. It works with WordPress 3.01
Does this work with wordpress 3.0.1? i tried using the [[bronze 01]] on the page i created to add another post and it didn’t work.
am i missing something?
Tony
nevemind i didn’t realize you had to create the post first then put the post id in the brackets. Now makes sense.,,..duuhhhh.
Cool
thanks
Tony
gr8 man! i neeaded to to create mini sidebars inside
post using divs and this is the best solution!!
:) love it, 10x a bunch
Hi,
Your plugin seemes not to work. I use the [[... ]] brakets correctly but it’s not showing anything. Could it be because I use the 3.0.1 WP version? Thanks…
hello..
It’s really nice plugin.. i must try it.. thank you ..
keep going..
nice plugin.. cheers, know what would be really handy? it would be great to be able to pass a categoryID and list all posts in that category within the page instead of doing it manually. that would be sweet.
Hi,
tried the examples of Talks and About at the top – both return error 404 not found.
Could that be why I can’t get it working?
Alan
really great work, i was trying to do this for long, its working nice on my localhost i am gona try on live server soon, once again thanks for this great work
Just a quick question, does this work if say i wanted a certain page to show all posts from a certain category?
If so, are category IDs (If they exist) different from Post IDs?
I’ve been searching a while now for a plugin that enables a certain page to show the posts of a certain category blog-style, but all I’ve come up with are plugins that basically enable the page to show an archive history of posts within a category, meaning you actually have to click the posts to see them.
Any help you can provide on this issue is heavily appreciated, and much thanks for your great efforts.
It is so nice, I could not belive it before and now I am done. However, I dont know how to remove the last update and comment links from the up post, please help me
I did change the comments and last update links from php file it is so nice
Aral,
Thanks for creating this plug-in. This might be a newbie question, but is it possible to use this on the free wordpress sites?
It sounds like you need to host your own wordpress page for this.
Thanks,
Nathan
niceeeee how much ?
slm, pluginde [[nnn]] nÞmerik olarak postID yerine catID kullanÄąlabilirmi, nasÄąl modifiye edebilirim???
Thanks great, plugin! I took out the variables where it showed post date, edit, etc and just kept post title & post body and you would think it belongs there! Brilliant works in 3.0.1
I have a need to display all blogs up to a limit on an static page. so is there a way to display a range?
Man how can I add multiple posts in one page with this plugin ?
thanks in advance
It works! I didn’t like my static pgs at all – it’s like having a limb as opposed to a working leg. Now they can do some work. Woohoo! Thanks, Aral.
You’re welcome, Claudine :)
Oh this would be sweet is there any version that supports 3.0 platform?!
an alternative approach:

Hi Aral,
Thanks for your effort! Just to tell you that I have a problem with the plugin. When I make a “click” on the permalink, the server show me the news …. but it is incomplete. What is wrong?

Hi
Just found your plug in via the WordPress codex (and a google search) and it looks great.
I wondered why I can’t find the plug in through the ‘plugins’ ‘add new’ selections in my dashboard.
Also, is there a way to have the line “Last modified on 2010-10-24 05:57:09 GMT. 0 comments. Top. Edit topic.” etc appear below the post (when inserted into a page) rather than above it.
Many Thanks
Hi Just to add I have gone through all the comments to see if I can find an answer and although I can find one for removing the comments etc I can ‘t find an answer for moving it to below the post.
If anyone else simply wants to get rid of it here is what was posted above in a comment…
I see that an often request is to not show the Title, Last modified and Comment-link.
The easiest way to do this, and to do it clean is to change line 120 in the pluginâs php file and edit it to:
$text = $postBodyText;
Not too sure if this is a continuation as it is the next comment and by the same person
//$text = $postTitleText.”.$lastModifiedText.’ ‘.$commentsText.’. ‘.$editLink.”".$postBodyText;
$text = $postBodyText;
I’ve been throwing code around trying to figure out a way to display a summary of a post using this plugin, but have had zero success, any ideas?
Hi Aral –
This is just what I was looking for! Thanks so much. My only question is can I remove the modification information from the posts (i.e. Last modified on 2010-10-29 00:51:41 GMT. 0 comments. Top. Edit topic.)?
Thanks~
Hello –
I was able to solve removing my comments, but I’d like to hide the title of the post as well. I edited my index.php to remove it from showing from my other posts, but for some reason, it’s showing still when I use this plugin. Is there something that I can remove the inlineposts coding.
Thanks~
This plugin is SICK. Pretty much solves the major issue I have with WordPress – nice work, thanks!
Please help! this is an awesome plugin but when I removed the “last modified, comments, edit” etc from the top of the post, my entire post got underlined and I have no idea how to change this
thanks, this is great. really nice job.
I’m wondering now is how to get the number of the latest post, so I can include it seperately…
Hi Aral! G’day!
I’ve tested your plugin and it works like a charm. This is what I’ve been searching for a long time.Looks like that the page @ posting entries in the site will dynamically enhance; sort of good news for the readers out there with your plugin installed.
Keep up good work! Just in case you wanna check it out :
http://madupakhaji.com/redirection/ ; a posting about inline post and redirection
This is a very nice plugin! However, is there a way for it to automatically display posts in a page from a specific category instead of having to manually insert the number of the post inside brackets?
You have saved me from tearing my hair out! I’m brand spanking new to WordPress, and I am just confounded with this category vs. page thing! I’m an organization freak and you’ve definitely helped me keep it all under control with this plugin. Thank you sooo much!!!
Thanks for the plugin; it solved at least two problems for me. (I think?)
Thanks Aral
Very Useful pluging save me a lot of work
Thanks againg and continue doing an excelent job
Regards
CSCOlabs Team
Working great on 3.0.3! Thanks for the work!
When i use this plug in it shows the comments numbers and date at the top of the post instead of the bottom as normally occurs on a regular post.
Does anyone know how to restore the comments and date to the bottom of the post so it appears like a regular post on the page?
examples at :
http://terrisview.com/365-project/
WOW… Great Plugin, Just what i wanted for my client, i was going to write some function to grab posts but i tested my luck and found your plugin which worked just like it should for me.
Perfect….
Awesome Plugin!
I wrestled with including posts on pages, and searched all over the place for a solution.
I thought for sure this feature was possible on my site before ( I installed a stock theme and posts on pages were there.) . But figuring out the solution was not found anywhere- including wordpess.org. This plugin saved me a lot of time, Thanks.
Thanks budy very very much for this greatest plugin ever in the history of wordpress….Man I really thank u from the bottom of my heart.I hav been searrching this plugin for the past 2:30 hours and finally I got it…thanks once again…
Hi Aral,
Thanks for the plugin. This is great. However, just as many users I have hacked into the code to remove comments etc. And like Conrad I end up with two dots…. Somehow I cannot find the right thing to do. Can anyone help me out?
I am using wordpress. com. Does this only work on wordpress.org? I am having problems.
I agree, a plugin like this is much needed.
I am surprised the ability to add posts to static pages isn’t a default option, why are added pages static anyway? whose brainchild was that?
Anyway, I installed version “Version 2.1.2.g” , I can see the plugin, it says it’s active but when I use [[anything]] with single or double brackets it just looks like I added brackets to that word in the existing post.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Aral,
I seem to be having troubles…When I download this via ftp, I can’t find it on WP. But when I search for this plug-in on WP, and try install it that way it cannot find your plug-in…any idea?
I’d like to display my most recent post on my main page.
Can I use this plug-in to do this without having to update the id number in square brackets each time I create a new post?
Many thanks.
Hello and thank you; I have never been able to figure out how to move my html copy to my webpage. Now I am attempting to ad Clickbank ads (html) to survivaltime. All it has at this time are articles and Google Ads. I need something for a potential money-maker. I signed up for WP Robot but it won’t work because my site isn’t WP.I read lots of literature re: html, but nothing on how to apply it to your site. I’m really frustrated. I would be so grateful for your help.

Many many thanks. Great plugin.
Thanks this is a great plugin.
I’ve tried using the tag in posts but the plugin doesn’t seem to recognize it. Is this supported or am I doing something wrong?
I have my site organised as pages (tabs). I want to have a blog tab which shoes all my posts. Can I use your plugin to do that? Any tips appreciated.
That is a good plugin in for what a lot of us needed.
I’ve seen posts inside of pages using HTML. This is perfect.
Great job.
Noobie wonders if …
Hi, the plugin looks great. Easy to get working, but I’m not sure if it will do what I am looking for.
I want a static front page with recent blog towards the bottom. Banner, welcome message, and blog below. The problem is the blog id [[xxx]] needs to be updated to include the recent blog.
Can this plugin get to where I want to go, or should I be looking for another approach?
Is there a way to include a whole category? I’m new to wordpress and trying to find a way to have a “page” that has all posts from a particular category displayed. Thanks!
Very helpful plugin! Thanks.
I have one question. Is there a way to keep the inserted post from showing up on the front page and have it only show up on the page I want to insert it in?
Firstly, thanks for a great plug-in! I have a few questions, why wont my postâs formatting get carried over to my new pages? I post the most recent post on my main page and then [[nnn]] it into my appropriate page, but I lose my original post formatting.
You shouldnât be using angled brackets, just two square brackets. Hope that fixes it! :)
Nice plugin, but unfornately it is not compatible with xLanguage-plugin that Iâm currently using.
Eh eh… I wrote “great plugin” some days ago, and it is… but… what about a compatibility with qtranslator? :)
Obviously when I add a post in, say, 3 languages the permalink is only one, so inlinepost add 3 post (pasted one after the other).
Do you have any suggestion? Try to “duplicate” permalinks? Change qtranslator? Change inlinepost?
Thanks in advance
nicgios
Hi Aral!
After two days I solved the compatibility issue with qtranslator: it is quite simple, just adding some lines to the config files and now I can add posts in different languages in different pages… :)
If you are interested I can send you the “patch”.
All the best
nicgios
Is there a way to include post by Category or Tag?
Also, give me a suggestion on how I can do a TOC with the post being on the fromt page?
Thans
If your posts don’t show, check your ID’s. I used a plugin, as it ain’t obvious to me!
While I am a pro PHP coder and designer, I have always rolled my own, so I am a WordPress newbie. I saw WordPress as a way to get a quick and dirty site structure overnight, and expected the same friendly help you see throughout the community. You guys didn’t answer this question even once. Aral, where are the ID’s?
Your plugin was the first one I downloaded, as it allows for each participant to simulate their own front page, however I had pretty permalinks on, so I saw no post numbers at all. I turned that off and tried to use that number, to no avail. It saw the tag, and replaced it with nada. I suspect this is the question all those people you ignore are really asking.
In frustration I combed the web an answer. I read many discussion posts and 10 Codex pages. I finally saw my mistake and figured out the id’s with the Simply Show ID’s plugin, and I felt a responsibility to the noob that you hotshots didn’t seem to.
I could not unzip the plugin for getting posts on the pages.
Please help!
Installed Inline Posts Plugin and the Category Exclusion plugin with the latest version of WordPress 3.1.1 using the Suffusion theme and it works awesome! Thank You!
Hello Aral,
THanks for your plugin!
I’ll try to explain my question (sorry for my english, normaly I speak french….)
I need to have all the post with “temoignage” category in the page “Temoignages” . Do you say in anwer for another personn in your blog that WordPress do that, but I don’t know how to do….
The only things I’ve found to do that is using you plugin in my site (grow op now, no finish…) http://www.blancamelia.ch/alix_one for the page “Temoignages”.
But i would like to have FIRST: the title, NEXT the text AND LAST “Last modified on 2011-04-22 12:06:10 GMT. 0 comments. Top. Edit topic.”
What i change in the INLINEPOSTS” document?
THanks
Camelia
thanks man, i was really looking for this plugin
how to make it show as summary article?
great plugin!!! <3
Hi. This is a really helpful plugin. I have been tweaking it a little in order to get thumbails to display for the inline posts. I am having trouble and would love any help you could spare.
Will this plug-in still work with WP3.1.2? Also I don’t see any number ID associated with my blog posts…….where are those located? Thank you. Nancy
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Aral,
Great plug in but still need to remove 2 things:
1- Last modified on 2011-05-13 20:24:32 GMT. 0 comments. Top. Edit topic.
2- The hyperlink from the title
Is this feasible, have you given a reply to these?
Hope you are still providing feedback for sooo many comments.

Excerpts do not work for these posts. Is there any workaround ?
not working on 3.1.1 :( wat to do now????????? plzzz help i really need this type of plugin thanks
Hello,
Can you build html/css around the insert? I’m trying to place a border around the post that inserted in the page.
Rick
Has this been tested with WP version 3.2? I can’t find your plugin from within WP using the Search Plugins section.
Thanx
Has this been tested with WP version 3.2? I can’t find your plugin from within WP using the Search Plugins section.
P.S. will this also work with WP Multisite (networking)
Thanx
Hi Aral
Great plugin!
I’ve been wondering, whether it was possible to include posts with a specific category in a page.
So you might be asking, why I’m not using the normal category list? Well, I both need a bit of static information on my pages, combined with the newest posts assigned with the category that matches the page.
Category lists also got IDs, so i guess I could work my way around it?
All the best,
Thomas
Hi again
I can see that you have answered similar questions earlier on – sorry!

Hey, I am trying to organize a postings for selling used sports gear on my web site http://www.kiteclubhatteras.com/ and I think this plug in will be great for including customers comments on the presented items. Tnx
Hi Aral,
I am getting this line under the title and before the post when I add an inline post to a page which I would like not to be there, and doesn’t look like I can hide it with CSS. The comments link is ok but would like it AFTER the post – not under the title.
“Last modified on 2011-08-01 15:48:39 GMT. 0 comments. Top.”
Here is the page … password is “password” (no quotation marks).
http://www.worthdesigning.com.au/apa/members-area/
It’s great to hear from you and see what you’ve been up to. In your blog I feel your enthusiasm for life. thank you.
Hello, thank you for the ” Inline Posts WordPress Plugin”. This solved a lot of problems.
I tried the link for “Ultimate Category Excluder” and got a 404.
Here is what I am looking to accomplish and not sure if your plug-in can be configured this way.
Example: I have a site called CoolCars. I have 3 pages. Yellow Cars, Red Cars, Fast Cars. Every time that I write a post, I assign it to a category that matches the pages listed above and the post automatically shows up on that page in a reduced paragraph – much like the front page. When I click to show more . . . I go to that page.
So, I write an article titled “Why white interior looks good in a red car” – name it to CATEGORY Red Cars and the summary of the article shows up on the Red Cars page.
Can your plugin be configured this way or do you know of another way to accomplish this?
Hi Aral,
I downloaded your plugin. It’s great and I use it on one of my blogs. I also found a tutorial of how to use templates to query posts.
I was wondering: Is there a way your plugin can pull the most recent post, instead of a specific post?
nice plugin… i found what i need.
thank you

Hi Aral,
This plugin is great, like you, I’ve been looking for a post into a page option for wordpress and then found your excellent plugin.
I do have one requirement – what I’m trying to do is if the post_status is set as “publish” then the post gets published as per normal, if it’s set to anything else nothing gets displayed in its place. (so I’d be able to turn part of the page on and off so to speak)
Would you know how to make the correct code changes – I’ve tried “if($post->post_status == “publish”)” but it came back with erros. :-(
Thank you in advance if you can help out in any way.
Cheers,
David
Hi Aral,
As per several poster’s request, like Trevor, I’d like my page to automatically list Posts from a single Category. (In this case, About Us is the page and “Org Info” is the Category.)
It sounds like the work-around, instead of having to go back to the About Us page and post and re-post the post number ( e.g.: [[98]] [[105]] ) would be to post a Category instead. Commenter Massimiliano said she had a solution, but her web link is dead.
1. Is there a current solution?
2. Is there a way that I can show only Excerpts?
After reading some additional Codex, I found a plugin that creates category lists in a page. (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/list-category-posts/faq/). This really makes a page into something more like a CMS page. However, I’ll keep this plug-in for other stuff.
thanks for this plugin, hop it will work for the future release of WP.
How do I find my post ID?
have just down loaded your plug in – thank you – almost there – is it possibe to make the included posts show as a list on the the page – i.e. a picture and then a few lines – at the moment the whole post is showing which is making the page too long to trawl through for info
Thanks Katie

Hi Aral
Been teaching Flash for a while and you’ve been on my radar for years. And here you are messing with WordPress. Nice one!
I’m struggling to find the post number of my posts to put in the [[ ]]. Has WP changed since you did this or have I configured WP to not show post numbers? Comments welcome.
Cheers
Michael :-)
How do I determine the ID of the post? My permalinks are set so they are the first word (or two) of my post. Is this meant to be the unique ID of each post? Thanks!
I tried your plug-in and it seems to work but I wanted something a little different. I’m not sure if it’s me or the plugin.
Right now, the website has all the posts on the home page. I was hoping to set things up where only the most recent post (or posts) would be on the home page and the rest would go to various category pages.
Is that possible with this plugin or do I need to look somewhere else.
Thanks for your help!
Thanks sooo much have been looking all day for this to be solved and here it is cheers!!!!
[[nnnn]] to find post no I went to Posts > edit Posts and found the post I wanted to feature.
If you look at the address at the top it will say wp-admin/post=”your no” in my case it was wp-admin/post=65 so I then used [[65]] in my page and my post appeared…
Just beautiful plugin…
I must appreciate your efforts for such marvellous creation…
Am using it at almost all of my pages…

Is it correct, that if you use more and more plugins, in your site, it reduces the downloading speed of your site…?
Hi Aral,
So you’re plugin is great and super simple. I’m actually trying to build a proper website using wordpress as a cms. I have three different blogging areas as well as a bunch of other stuff on my site that’s not for blogging. whilst your plugin works in the fact that it puts the post of the right page I am currently using a really excellent multilingual plugin called qtranslate and when i direct a post to a page it shows all the information (e.g. english and spanish). any idea how to fix this?
i’m using the plugin qtranslate to turn my site into a multi lingual site, see more info here: http://www.qianqin.de/qtranslate/
thanks,
Chris
Hi Aral
Thank you so much for this great plugin. I am training in web design at the moment so I’m slowly but surely getting there. I was constantly having a problem with my permalinks on wordpress, the htaccess code kept reverting back (so hostgator told me!), it doesn’t happen with your plugin though which is great. I found it really simple to use but could I just ask one question please?
How do you change the page IDs on the post? Thanking you in advance.
This plugin worked great when it was hosted on my machine locally, but when i launched the site it completely screwed the whole site, a huge amount. Not your fault but just wandering anyone else having these problems?
Hi Aral,
Thanks for your post.
I installed the plug in and it worked.
But in fact, I want to put different posts under a page (not a category) and let the visitors check the posts, click “read more” if they are interested in a post and then be directed to that post.
Can I do that somehow?
Hi, love this plugin..thank you! Question though, when I click on the page that has the posts, I see the title. When I click on the title though and it brings me to that post, the title is no longer visible. Does it have something to do with the “h2″ tag? Any advice to get my titles to show up again?
Hello,
Does this plugin work for the latest wordpress version 3.3.1 ?
Regards
The plugin work perfectly on my site and this is what I am looking for. Great post! I am using WordPress 3.3.1
Hi Aral,
nice plugin. Thanks.
I have problems with WP Multi-Language plugins and Inline Posts.
Do you think that there could be a solution ??
Aral,
So brilliant, i think you can help a beginner like me. I am toatally new to this blogging and i am doing a blog in wordpress for the past 40 days.
I have created categories and Pages and the pages are not showing the relevant posts in the respective categories.
I have tried to put the category slug in to the page slug. Previously it worked well. But for the past one week, something happened .
When i copy the category slug, it comes as /category/news
Biy when i copy this into the page slug, the / disappears and i see nothing when i click on the page.
I don’t know if you will help me, but i wish if i could correct this and present.
Thank u
Christhyani
Hi, this is an excellent plugin. I downloaded and installed successfully. I was able to show my post content in the pages that I wanted.
But one thing, I want to show 5-6 lines of my post in home page and the remaining in the actual post page using …..more link. I tried to add ….. more link after half of the post content. But it is not working and showing the full content in my homepage.
I have a question and would very much appreciate your input!
I volunteer and run a neighborhood websites through wordpress It has problems. I didn’t understand, until I read your post, what a page was. I set the site up with pages, not posts. Everything works, but the problem is that neighbors would like to get an email message every time a comment is added. I have no idea how to configure this so that is a possibility. Please offer any help you can. SO grateful.
Sorry, I did enjoy your plugin and Ronny Welter’s modification, but it has been giving my hosting provider loads of server warnings.
(All friendly) I just want to bring your attention to an alternative… ‘Blog in Blog’ by Tim Hodson. It has more advance features :/
any updates out? I am using 3.3WP
Hi Minal
Thanks for the free plug in but I have a question.
1. When I create a page it requires [[X]] with X referring to a post. I have found the post number put if I post it shows on page 1 of my blog not only on my page. If I put my “post” in draft form it will only show on the page and not on the front page.
Is there an easier way to get the post to only show up on the page I want and not my front page blog?
