Question

I’ve decided to start using wp_query instead of query_posts, on my home page I want to call the content from a particular page inside a div. Just wondering what am I missing here as nothing is appearing and I do have a page with content with an ID of 140. Im still quite new to this thanks!

<div class="home-info" > 
<?php 
if (have_posts() ) :

$the_query = new WP_Query( 'paged=140' );
while ($the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
echo the_content();
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();

endif; 
?> 
</div>

You’ve used the wrong argument in WP_Query, it should be page_id rather than paged. Here’s the reference from the Codex;
