  I found a help entry that says to get the page ID from “Edit Page URL” which shows an example with a number. In the edit page form all I see is permalinks in a syntax that is very different than the example, e.g no unique page info presented

  I’m adding a sidebar page widget which lists pages hierarchicly and has an exclude box where I am supposed to list PAGE IDs of pages I don’t want to show in the list. I’m stumped as to where to find the page IDs.

  thanks in advance

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The correct info is in the Pages Widget help. Right clicking over PAGES/PAGES to properties gives full edit and post info with the posting number (page ID).

  FWIW one of the links to page ID is blank altogether.

  Sorry, but I can never find anything until AFTER I ask for help ;^}

  thanks all the same

  Hi can you explain exactly what do you want?
  Do you want your pages to appear in the sidebar widgets instead of top tab?

  Also post an active link to the blog you’re asking for help cause http://imarieswancullen.wordpress.com/ refers to an empty blog.

  To find the ID number of a page, you go to Pages > All Pages, hover over the page title and look at the status/progress bar of your browser, or hover over the page title, click Edit and look at the address bar of the browser.
