How can I get the ID of a post (or page) based on the $query_vars variable? I want to do something like
$query_vars['post_id']
But I don’t have a reference page that has the list of $query_vars perams. The code will be using the template_redirect action hook.
When viewing a single post,
get_the_ID();used within the loop will return the current post’s ID.Dumping it
would provide such a reference.
Where you’d subsequently see that
$wp_query->query_vars['page_id']yields the page ID.If you’re on a single post or page view, try using
get_queried_object_id().Or, if you don’t know what type of view you’re on, use
get_queried_object()and then analyse the object returned to find out whether its a post, a taxonomy term, or something different.
