Several ways to find the ID of a WordPress pos

There are several ways to find the ID of a WordPress post:

1. In the WordPress dashboard, go to the "Posts" menu and click on the post that you want to find the ID for. The ID of the post will be displayed in the address bar of your web browser, after "post=". For example, if the URL of the post is "

https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=123&action=edit⁠

", the ID of the post is 123.

2. In the WordPress dashboard, go to the "Posts" menu and hover over the post that you want to find the ID for. A set of options will appear, including an "Edit" link. Click on the "Edit" link, and the ID of the post will be displayed in the address bar of your web browser, after "post=".

3. If you are viewing a post on the front-end of your site, you can use the "View Page Source" option in your web browser to view the HTML source code of the page. In the source code, look for the "post_ID" attribute in the "body" tag.

For example:

In this example, the post ID is 123.

You can also use a plugin, such as "Post ID Finder", to display the post ID on the post edit screen in the WordPress dashboard. This can be useful if you need to find the ID of a large number of posts quickly.
