   Hi,
   I need to find out the post ID for a page *which isn't the current page* and in such a way that I can then find the page's post_status (eg 'publish', 'draft').

   This is so that I can output a notification on the home page depending on whether e.g. the contact page is live or not.

   e.g.
   IF contact_page_form == 'publish' THEN
   display notification
   END IF

   Thanks

   Tim

   <?php
   $args=array(
     'name' => 'About',
     'post_type' => 'page',
     'post_status' => 'any',
     'posts_per_page' => 1,
     'caller_get_posts'=> 1
   );
   $my_query = null;
   $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
   if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
     if ($my_query->posts[0]->post_status == 'publish' ) {
       echo 'we are good to go!';
     }
   }
   wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   ?>
