Conditional tag for pages without an ID.

    I want to run some code on every page that DOESN’T have a page ID.

    From what I can tell, these pages have an ID of 0/null, but using the conditional tag is_page(0) returns true for ALL pages.

    Any ideas how to do this?

  • You can use other idenfiers for the page besides the page ID, take a look at the rest of the conditonal options on the codex, for instance you could try targeting the slug of the page or the page title.

    is_page( 'About Me And Joe' )
When the Page with a post_title of "About Me And Joe" is being displayed.'

'is_page( 'about-me' )
When the Page with a post_name (slug) of "about-me" is being displayed.

    I have a bunch of pages without IDs, so I was looking for some code that could target them en masse. I’m familiar with all the conditional tags in the codex, and none of them seems to fit the bill.

    It doesn’t look like you can pass a null value for page ID’s because as you’ve experienced it will just always return true.

    If nothing else there is fitting the bill I’d start looking in other areas. Do the pages share any unique commonality? Taxonomy? Templates? Post Type? Scripts? Can you give them some unique commonality to set them apart?

    They currently don’t have any unique identifiers that don’t overlap with at least one of my pages that does have an ID. The ID was the most obvious feature that differentiated them. ??

    I ended up setting up separate templates to use with pages w/out an ID. Not ideal, but it works for me.
