I’m not sure how to get it via the title, but you can get it via the slug (which is often more useful in my experience) using this: http://erikt.tumblr.com/post/278953342/get-a-wordpress-page-id-with-the-slug Just change “$page” to “$post” if you want to return slugs for posts instead of pages. G’luck!
Why not make a new account for this user which will generate a new database ID. Then delete the user with the ID of 1 and attribute all posts / content to the new user you created for them? Then you don’t have to worry about queries or messing up your database. Also, as said … Read more
You are probably looking for the user_exists function. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/email_exists This function will check whether or not a given email address ($email) has already been registered to a username, and returns that users ID (or false if none exists). If the email address does not exist (user_exists returns false), you may want to use the wp_create_user … Read more
You are missing the the_post() function call in the loop. Just add $the_query->the_post(); in your loop. Apart from that, your loop should work EDIT You should also not forget to reset your postdata after the query is done
I can confirm that the imported post will get a new unique ID if (and only if) there already is an existing/conflicting ID in the target database. Given a post to be imported with an ID of 7579 (represented in the WXR export file as <wp:post_id>7579</wp:post_id>) and an existing post with that exact same ID … Read more

The hooks for taxonomies are: “manage_edit-${taxonomy}_columns” for the header “manage_edit-${taxonomy}_sortable_columns” to make columns sortable “manage_${taxonomy}_custom_column” for the cell content To catch all taxonomies write: foreach ( get_taxonomies() as $taxonomy ) { add_action( “manage_edit-${taxonomy}_columns”, ‘t5_add_col’ ); add_filter( “manage_edit-${taxonomy}_sortable_columns”, ‘t5_add_col’ ); add_filter( “manage_${taxonomy}_custom_column”, ‘t5_show_id’, 10, 3 ); } add_action( ‘admin_print_styles-edit-tags.php’, ‘t5_tax_id_style’ ); function t5_add_col( $columns ) { … Read more
There is a function exactly for that: get_page_by_title( $page_title, $output = OBJECT, $post_type=”page” ); You can use it like this: $page = get_page_by_title( ‘Start’ ); To get the page from a specific post type: $custom = get_page_by_title( ‘Start’, OBJECT, ‘your_custom_post_type’ ); $post = get_page_by_title( ‘Start’, OBJECT, ‘post’ ); Be aware, this function will search in … Read more
I think what you need is: <?php $post_id = $post->ID; //or somehow get the current post ID. $ancestors = get_post_ancestors($post_id) //$ancestors is an array of post IDs starting with the current post going up the root //’Pop’ the root ancestor out or returns the current ID if the post has no ancestors. $root_id = (!empty($ancestors) … Read more
