October 29, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

On your WordPress website you may want to know the id number of one of the categories on the blog of your website. You may want to do something like remove one category from the blog on your front page and having that id number may help with that.

From the WordPress admin left menu click on posts > categories
Hover your mouse over the title of the category that you want the id for
Look in the lower left corner of your internet browser
You should see a url listed
That url will likely look like https://yourdomain/wp-admin/term.php?taxonomy=category&tag_ID=# with more text in the link where the # is the category id

Now that you have that id number you can use that if needed in your code on there like in the post linked at the top of this post on here.
