How to check if page has status published

Question

How to check if page id(SomeID) is actually published?

Answer 1

You can use 'publish' === get_post_status( $id ), where $id could be the current page ID retrieved via get_the_ID() or any other.

Answer 2

You must retrieve the page via the function get_page.

Look for the post_status field in the returned object!

Answer 3

You can try this:

<?php
  $page_id = 20; // example id of your page 
  $page = get_page( $page_id );
  if ($page->post_status == 'publish') {
    // page is published

  }
?>
