💡 Queries the WordPress REST API. Works on any public WordPress site (REST API is on by default since WP 4.7). If a browser security restriction blocks a direct call, the tool automatically retries via a free CORS proxy. Learn more / Troubleshoot ↓

How It Works / Troubleshooting

Step 1 — Direct REST API — The tool calls yoursite.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?slug=your-slug directly. This works when the WordPress site allows cross-origin requests (most do).

Step 2 — CORS Proxy fallback — If the direct call is blocked by the browser's same-origin policy, the tool retries via corsproxy.io (a free, open-source proxy). This resolves the vast majority of CORS issues.

"Not Found" — REST API returned an empty result. The post may be a draft, the slug may differ, or it's a custom post type not registered in the REST API.

"Blocked" — Both direct and proxy requests failed. The site has fully disabled its REST API (e.g., via a security plugin like Wordfence), or is behind aggressive bot protection (Cloudflare).

What Is a WordPress Post ID?

Every piece of content in WordPress — posts, pages, custom post types — is assigned a unique numeric ID. This Post ID is used in WordPress URLs, REST API calls, database queries, and many plugins. Knowing the Post ID of a page is essential for developers and advanced WordPress users.

How This WordPress ID Finder Works

This tool queries the WordPress REST API endpoint (/wp-json/wp/v2/) using the slug extracted from your URL. It tries both the posts and pages endpoints automatically. If direct access is blocked by CORS, it falls back to a proxy. The process typically takes 1–3 seconds per URL.
