How to get custom post type post id from slug?

April 10, 2022 by IT Nursery

Is it possible to grab the custom post type post id just only from slug?

As much i know we can get from id by using title. But there can be same title in a custom post type so as slugs are unique is it possible???

You can use get_page_by_path() – don’t let the name fool you, third argument is the post type:

if ( $post = get_page_by_path( 'the_slug', OBJECT, 'post_type' ) )
    $id = $post->ID;
else
    $id = 0;
