Hi,

My site is set up to show custom the category and post title in the URL. Is there another way to find the category ID’s? because mine no longer show as part of the URL?

Thanks, Liz

Thanks for the tip. In 2.8.4 you can also click on Posts>Categories to see the category ID. There is also a plugin that shows the IDs. Great site. Keep up the good work.

Thank you SO SO SO MUCH. I spent over 2 days figuring out how to send post to Wordpress using XMLRPC with chosen category. I am struggling because Wordpress doesnt like ‘category name’. I have no idea how to find category id until now. Your tips make my day. Thank you .
