Making a Php Snippet to Work

Hello Tagdiv,

Few days back I had requested you a code. I had found a code that works as I wish. But I need some guidance in using it along with the theme. The snippet which I got is given below,

<?php $date = date('Y-m-d');

if($date == '2016-01-16'){
    $my_postid = 10;//This is page id or post id
}else{
    $my_postid = 8;//This is page id or post id
}

$content_post = get_post($my_postid);
$content = $content_post->post_content;
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
echo $content; ?>

I used a plugin that can process Php to insert this code but it didn’t worked. Experts are telling that this code will work only if it is implemented in the theme file. I don’t know how to achieve this. Kindly give me some guidance.

I have find one more code that works perfectly and I’m sharing that here. The thing is the contents it grabbed does not look good and they are without the <p> tag. Kindly help me with this.

<?php 
$date = date('y-m-d');

if($date == '16-01-16'){
    $post_id = 8807;//This is page id or post id
}else{
    $post_id = 6039;//This is page id or post id
}

echo get_post_field('post_content', $post_id);

?>

Thanks
