The Insert Pages Plugin
The Insert Pages plugin for WordPress is a useful tool that allows you to embed the content of one page into another page or post. This is particularly helpful if you want to reuse content across multiple locations on your website without duplicating it.
- Simply install and activate the plugin.
- Upon activation, open the post, page, or any post type where you want to display content and click the ‘+’ icon.
- Type ‘Insert Page’ in the search and insert the correct block.
- Select the page you want to embed using the settings in the right-hand menu.
- Under the ‘Insert Page’ option, either enter the URL of the page or begin typing its title, which will trigger a dropdown menu. From this menu, choose the appropriate page or post.
- In the ‘Settings’ section you can view how the embedded content will look like.
- From the ‘Display’ dropdown, select the type of content you want to include, such as the post title, link, excerpt, or the full page content.
- The plugin also enables you to add custom CSS, opt to display the page content inline, and even restrict visibility to registered users only, hiding the content from anonymous visitors.
- Once you’re satisfied with the appearance of the content, be sure to click ‘Update’ or ‘Publish’ to save your changes.
