Getting the WordPress Post ID of current post

Anyone know how I can get the post ID of the current page?

So, if I'm on a particular post, inside my header.php, I want to be able to get the current post id.

Thanks!

In most cases, get_the_ID() will work fine:

$post_id = get_the_ID();

However, in some cases, you may need to use get_queried_object_id() instead:

$post_id = get_queried_object_id();

The reason for this is that the value returned by get_the_ID() is context-dependent and, in some cases, may return a different ID than the main post being queried. For further info, I recommend reading WordPress's documentation regarding The Loop.

You can use $post->ID to get the current ID.

Try:

$post = $wp_query->post;

Then pass the function:

$post->ID
