Finding the page id

Question

I'm not sure if I'm blind here, but short of digging directly into the database tables, where would I find the database id for a post or a page?

Solution

IDs always show in links in admin area, like /wp-admin/post.php?post=2164&action=edit

There are also some plugins that simplify this, quick search came up with Simply Show IDs.

OTHER TIPS

Also, the status bar at the bottom of your browser is usually a convenient place to note the id when hovering over a link from within the admin

Another plugin that can do this (and one I use often) is "Reveal ID for admins" http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/reveal-ids-for-wp-admin-25/

If you're a code geek, you might want to add <body <?php body_class('class-name'); ?>> and your body tag will show the page-id
