Also, there are many ways to find the page ID of a WordPress site. We will be looking at the 5 easiest ways to locate WordPress IDs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-get-a-post-or-wordpress-page-id-from-the-dashboard-url\"><span id=\"1-get-a-post-or-wordpress-page-id-from-the-dashboard-url\"><strong>1.

For instance, when a page or post is opened inside the <a href=\"https:\/\/hostonce.com\/blog\/key-changes-in-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WordPress 6.8<\/a> editor, the ID can be seen from the URL. Here is a walkthrough on the whole process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list is-style-cnvs-list-styled-positive\">\n<li>Log in to your <a href=\"https:\/\/hostonce.com\/blog\/installing-a-wordpress-theme-via-dashboard-zip-ftp-and-cpanel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WordPress dashboard<\/a> and click on pages or posts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hover your mouse over any content item in the dashboard<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In your browser search bar, you&#8217;ll see a link that looks like https:\/\/yourwebsite.com\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=<strong>287<\/strong>&amp;action=edit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moreover, you&#8217;ll find the ID number in the URL of your browser.

You can get a post&#8217;s ID or its content by ID when you hover your mouse on the post titles. Most <a href=\"https:\/\/hostonce.com\/blog\/5-best-mobile-friendly-wordpress-themes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">themes on WordPress<\/a> use metadata to show the ID you need.

This method is recommended for large enterprise websites, <a href=\"https:\/\/hostonce.com\/blog\/scale-ecommerce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ecommerce businesses<\/a>, or people handling hundreds of pages who constantly want to know the ID of every content without stress. In addition, here is how to get the ID with this method:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list is-style-cnvs-list-styled-positive\">\n<li>Install the WordPress plugin from your dashboard and activate it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on Posts&gt;&gt;All Posts or Pages&gt;&gt;All Pages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A new category or tag ID will be added to the table.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-get-the-current-post-or-page-id-using-wordpress-template-tags\"><span id=\"4-get-the-current-post-or-page-id-using-wordpress-template-tags\"><strong>4.

Furthermore, below are popular functions you can use to access your WordPress IDs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list is-style-cnvs-list-styled-positive\">\n<li><strong>get_the_ID(): <\/strong>This <a href=\"https:\/\/hostonce.com\/blog\/wp_is_mobile-function-still-useful\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WP function<\/a> aims to return a current post or page ID in the loop<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>$post-&gt;ID: <\/strong>A global variable that can be used to access the current IDs of a post or page<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>get_queried_object_id(): <\/strong>This function is great for templates, pages, and archives.

This is useful in changing the structure of permalinks, updating posts that are old posts, and redirecting pages that are deleted pages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You need the post or page ID to create custom menus from your dashboard. Additionally, you can use them to show a post or add a specific page.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Web developers use WordPress IDs for displaying custom loops or template files<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some WordPress plugins allow you to manage the visibility of your page. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/hostonce.com\/blog\/free-wordpress-membership-plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">membership plugins<\/a> or content restriction tools specifically use IDs for this purpose<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Popular website builders like <a href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/\">Elementor<\/a> and Divi make use of IDs for locating dynamic widgets, applying templates, and assigning theme builders.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-green-background-color has-background cnvs-block-core-column-1759209429246 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d1240a1eeabf835f6e1c561a8ea81cef\" id=\"h-expert-tip\"><span id=\"expert-tip\">Expert Tip<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-65dc8be58f09d5219816c13520a5cb15\">Many display errors in WordPress usually come from referencing the wrong page or post ID. Also, plugins like Show IDs, Admin Columns, or Reveal IDs add a column to show every page and post ID from one view. Some custom themes allow you to save important post IDs in dedicated options panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns author-gap cnvs-block-core-columns-1759209429224 is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column cnvs-block-core-column-1759209429129 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;flex-basis:17%\"><div class=\"expert-tip-avatar wp-block-avatar\"><img alt='Aliza Irfan Avatar' src='https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/9176c1ab12f0546a430324efd65d3b4bdcc5060a3f78bcc1fb07fad02c91022a?s=80&#038;d=mm&#038;r=g' srcset='https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/9176c1ab12f0546a430324efd65d3b4bdcc5060a3f78bcc1fb07fad02c91022a?s=160&#038;d=mm&#038;r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-80 photo wp-block-avatar__image' height='80' width='80' \/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top author-head is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);flex-basis:83%\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color cnvs-block-core-heading-1759209429155 wp-elements-f6b65b45da06ef135b5dc46b7e7716d4\" id=\"h-aliza-irfan\"><span id=\"aliza-irfan\">Aliza Irfan<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size cnvs-block-core-paragraph-1759209429179 wp-elements-bf142f0963ef99bdab1910a5cb627da0\">Experienced WordPress Manager<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-you-can-t-find-post-id-in-wordpress\"><span id=\"why-you-cant-find-post-id-in-wordpress\"><strong>Why You Can&#8217;t Find Post ID in WordPress<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Page and post IDs can come in handy when accessing advanced customization options. If you can&#8217;t find the IDs from your WordPress dashboard, you might want to consider the following reasons.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list is-style-cnvs-list-styled-positive\">\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/hostonce.com\/blog\/how-to-build-gutenberg-plugin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gutenberg plugin<\/a> editor hides IDs by default. To solve this issue, you will need to use a plugin such as &#8220;Show IDs&#8221; or check the URL of your browser while editing.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Another reason is theme modification. Your WordPress theme can remove ID columns from the layout to boost <a href=\"https:\/\/hostonce.com\/blog\/woocommerce-performance-apm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">performance<\/a>. The best way to fix this problem is by using the default WordPress theme or a plugin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plugins designed to simplify the WordPress dashboard usually hide IDs. You can deactivate the plugin to check if it works.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Specific post types don&#8217;t show IDs by default unless they work with plugins. For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostonce.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hostonce<\/a> users, you can check the plugin settings to understand what&#8217;s going on.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;Unauthorized users not logged in as a WordPress admin cannot see the IDs. On the other hand, ensure that you are given permission as an admin or editor to access the WordPress IDs.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-5577\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/hostonce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hostonce-Banner-1200-630-template-1024x538.png\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostonce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hostonce-Banner-1200-630-template-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/hostonce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hostonce-Banner-1200-630-template-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/hostonce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hostonce-Banner-1200-630-template-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/hostonce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hostonce-Banner-1200-630-template-380x200.png 380w, https:\/\/hostonce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hostonce-Banner-1200-630-template-550x289.png 550w, https:\/\/hostonce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hostonce-Banner-1200-630-template-800x420.png 800w, https:\/\/hostonce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hostonce-Banner-1200-630-template-1160x609.png 1160w, https:\/\/hostonce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hostonce-Banner-1200-630-template.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-get-affordable-fast-and-dependable-hosting\"><span id=\"get-affordable-fast-and-dependable-hosting\">Get affordable, fast, and dependable hosting!<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Start your website journey with Hostonce today and enjoy strong security, 24\/7 customer support, reliable performance, and fast-loading speeds perfect for small businesses and beginners<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/hostonce.com\/shared-hosting\" style=\"background-color:#0da438\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shared Hosting by Hostonce<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion-on-wordpress-post-and-page-ids\"><span id=\"conclusion-on-wordpress-post-and-page-ids\"><strong>Conclusion on WordPress Post and Page IDs<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress post and page IDs are very important for configuring plugins, shortcodes, and custom queries.
