It is very simple to find a WordPress page ID after you have already changed the permalink structure on your WordPress website. All you have to do is open your website dashboard up in Internet Explorer, go to the posts section where you see the lists of posts, and hover over the post. The true link will show in the Internet Explorer status bar at the bottom of the page.
Watch this video below to see how to enable the Internet Explorer status bar to see the page ID’s.

I am addicted to internet marketing and making money online. Who wouldn't want to live that life? I started out with one website as a hobby and now have over 20. Building websites and making money online is not that hard. You have to actually take action to make money...that is the biggest hurdle! :)

That’s super helpful but I need to know the page-ID for my home page! Can’t seem to work it out, unless it’s not numbered?
If You have set the homepage to be a page or post then it will have a number.. If the recent posts are showing on the frontpage then there is no number…If you need the ID to use in code then is_front_page is how to specify the frontpage.. as is_page equals page and is_sinlge is a post.
A much easier alternative (especially if you have a Mac and therefore can’t get access to IE) is if you simply add
into the post content section of the page.php
this will display the ID directly onto the screen
NB don’t forget to comment this out after testing though!
Thanks so much. So simple, but I could not find the answer anywhere. I was trying to use slugs instead of the page id to exclude test pages from my sitemap. Naturally, it was not working. What a pain. I’m bookmarking this.
