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?

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.

So clearly I'm blind then, or just didn't think before posting – baldy Oct 3 '10 at 16:22

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

	Sorry, no, that would not add the post ID. – toscho♦ Oct 16 '12 at 16:48
	Ops, sorry, I meant to type this `<body <?php body_class(); ?>>` with reference to the codex codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/body_class – Mohd Rafie Kamaruzaman Oct 16 '12 at 21:22
