   How can I get the post id in the header.php?

   It seems that the $id or get_the_ID can only be available in sidebar.php / footer.php but NOT in header.php

   Maybe it's due to the header "doesn't know" the id :)

   But how can I just get my ID in a header.php? Thanks!

   Could you provide more specific information?
   What theme are you using? Which WP version? Your code? URL?

   I'm only guessing here: Does your sidebar.php reference a style sheet that header.php does not?

   I could not find any $id or get_the_ID anywhere in my sidebar/footer/header.php on my site. Or are you referring to a string?

   sorry, here is the source of post-template.php:

   7 function the_ID() {
   8 global $id;
   9 echo $id;
   10 }
   11
   12
   13 function get_the_ID() {
   14 global $id;
   15 return $id;
   16 }
