The Other Content

One of the main limitations of working with WordPress is that it only gives you one editable content area per page. The Other Content lets you add more. Once you’ve installed and activated The Other Content, you’ll be able to create new content types on the Settings > The Other Content page. When you add or edit a page, you’ll then be able to select any or all of these content types and enter content using a new area below the standard primary content area.

Additional content can then be display by adding <?php the_other_content(’Content Type Name’); ?> in the appropriate place in your theme files inside the loop, or <?php the_other_content(’Content Type Name’, ‘Post ID’); ?> outside the loop.

The Other Content is available from theĀ WordPress Plugins Directory. Thanks go to Keighl for this TinyMCE in WordPress Plugins Post, which helped me to solve a problem and get this finished almost a year after I did most of the work.

    Hello, I’ve made a test with the plugin but it seems the text put in a second area is not saved after publishing or saving the post ?
    Is it possible to get an html area and not a visual edition area ?
