   Hi,

   Question about the get_query_var function and the use of permalinks.

   For a very simple website I use the index file (only) as a template-file (no header/footer/sidebar). In this index file I use some simple code to get the page_id (following this topic: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/209146?replies=3):

   When permalinks are off this works ok:
   $pageid = get_query_var('page_id'); (giving me the current page id)

   When pretty permalinks are on this doesn't work anymore (only the homepage, which I put as I static page in the admin, gives me a pageid of "3", the other pages are all giving back a "0")

   As mentioned in the topic above my method should work - with(out) permalinks enabled. But this is not the case, since I can get the "pagename" out of this function when permalinks are switched on.

   I'm a bit confused... what am I doing wrong? Is there an alternative for get_query_var? (this seems to be a very useful function in my opinion..)

   Some help/further info would be great!

   Thanks,

   Rolf

   Did you resolve this somehow ?

   This seems to work fine:
