Sometimes it is necessary to know the ID of a particular Post. For example, you need to know the post ID to add in the Featured Post Slider in our theme. To determine that ID, use one of these methods:
Look in your browser status bar for the ID:
- Go to Posts => All Posts in your WordPress Admin Panel
- Hover your mouse over the “item” you need the ID for.
- Look at the status bar (at the bottom of your browser) and then you will find at the end of the line something like “post=123”. In these cases, 123 is the Post ID.
Install a plugin:
Install and activate Catch ID’s Plugin which will display the ID in your Post admin panel.
