If you hook your localize script function to wp_enqueue_scripts, then you will have access to the global $post variable. As long as you pick a hook at or after ‘wp’ you should have access to the global $post. <?php add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘YOUR_NAME_scripts’); function YOUR_NAME_scripts() { wp_enqueue_script(‘YOUR_NAME-js’); global $post; $params = array( ‘site_url’ => site_url(), ‘admin_ajax_url’ => … Read more
The pedantic answer is NO. While IDs are unique they can change without any change in UX as long as the change retains the consistency of the DB. And while creating a new post will generate a new unique ID, you can also create a post via code to reuse some “old” ID. In practice … Read more
$pageID = get_option(‘page_on_front’); should get you the Page ID of the page set at ‘Front Page’ in WordPress options.
Menu items are stored in the posts table with a post_type of nav_menu_item. So, what you are returning is the ID of the menu item itself, not what it points to. The page/post ID that the menu item refers to is stored in the postmeta table, with a post_id that matches the menu item ID … Read more
Try this code. $author = get_user_by( ‘slug’, get_query_var( ‘author_name’ ) ); echo $author->ID; Alternatively, if author name has not been set use: if ( $author_id = get_query_var( ‘author’ ) ) { $author = get_user_by( ‘id’, $author_id ); } credit @AndyAdams in the easily missed comments bellow

<?php if(count($related)) { echo “<div>Read More<ul>”; foreach($related as $id) { echo ‘<li><a href=”‘.get_permalink( $id ).'”>’.get_the_title( $id ).'</a></li>’; } echo “</ul></div>”; } ?>
Try with this: <?php echo get_the_title( $ID ); ?>
I just had to do this in one of my themes… Since you don’t have access to the $item variable at that stage of the Walker, you would want to store your current item in a more global scope at the moment you do have access to it. The following code will make more sense… … Read more
The simplest and most straightforward way to get the post author ID outside the loop, if you know the post ID, is to use the WordPress core function get_post_field(). $post_author_id = get_post_field( ‘post_author’, $post_id ); If you do not yet know the post ID of the page you are on, then since WP 3.1 the … Read more
