How To Find the ID Number for a WordPress Post, Page or Category
Your WordPress data like posts, pages, and categories are saved in a MySQL database table with a ID number. Sometimes widgets and theme settings require the entry of an ID number. For example: You may be asked to enter the ID# of categories you’d like to include/exclude from a widget. How do you find that ID#? There are a few ways, but this is the absolute no brainer way.
In your WordPress dashboard, go the Edit page for the item you need. Example: Let’s find the ID# of the post you’re reading right now.
- Go to Posts
- Go to Edit
- Right-click on the title of the Post
- Click on Properties to see the ID# as in the picture below:
