Post/page ID URL not resolving to the right page
-
Hi,
I am trying to have a permalink to the page ‘success!’ by using the page/post ID which can be found by mousing over the page inside of the WordPress pages manager and looking at the status bar of the web browser.
In this case it has an ID of 9, so I was hoping by making a hyperlink to it in the form of:
http://www.testsite646.wordpress.com/?page=9/
It would work, but instead, it just goes to my home page again.
Is there some other way that I can have a permalink which resolves to the pages URL: http://www.testsite646.wordpress.com/success
So that if the pages URL changes, I won’t get a deadlink (and then I can repeat the same thing for all of my web pages).Here is how I am getting the page/post ID though only the first solution is relevant for my use case.
I may have posted in the wrong forum but just finding the button to simply post a forum question was a pain enough as it is so please move this question to the correct place if so.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
It is true that you can use the “page ID” in a link structure like this and it will redirect. Looks like you may have had the formatting wrong in your example though, since
?page=ID_NUMdoes not work, but if you use?p=ID_NUMthat will work just fine.You can see that if you visit: https://testsite646.wordpress.com/?p=9
Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
