The question:
In WordPress settings you can set a page as the Posts Page. This can be found:
WP-Admin->Settings->Reading Settings->Front page displays
How do I retrieve the page ID that is set in this setting?
The Solutions:
Below are the methods you can try. The first solution is probably the best. Try others if the first one doesn’t work. Senior developers aren’t just copying/pasting – they read the methods carefully & apply them wisely to each case.
Method 1
Use the page_for_posts option:
<?php
$page_for_posts = get_option( 'page_for_posts' );
?>
This will return the ID of the Page assigned to display the Blog Posts Index.
