Are you looking for a way to get the page ID using get_page_id? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to get page ID by its name in WordPress.
Instructions:
All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:
//Function
function get_page_id($page_name){
global $wpdb;
$page_name = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_name = '".$page_name."'");
return $page_name;
}
Then, call the get_page_id() function inside a template file wherever you need the page ID:
get_page_id('contact');
