How can I see the page ID in pages rendered in browser?

    I’m using artisteer to create wordpress themes. Artisteer allows you to create some content that can be imported into a wordpress site through a theme. I’ve uploaded several themes I’ve created to my wordpress site at GoDaddy. But, each time I import the content, it generates a new instance of each page that the theme has. For example, I now have three homepages with the same name in the pages list, each with a unique ID. The pages came from different uploaded modifications of the same theme. I know I have to manually delete the duplicate pages in wordpress. But, how do I know which page in the set of duplicates belongs to the current theme?
    Is there a way to show the page ID in the published page rendered by a browser?

    Can you just delete all the pages and the theme, and then reinstall? Might be easier than modifying code to show the ID.

    No, because I will need to move legacy content from some older pages to newer ones once its in wordpress. If WordPress is able to track IDs of content back to the theme it came from, then it should be possible to edit the linked list of ID numbers to reassign existing content from older themes to newer ones without having to rekey any of it. The problem I have is that some content is updated in a theme editor outside (artisteer) and brought into wordpress, while user content is keyed inside of wordpress, or in an offline blog editor (Windows Live Writer or BlogDesk).

    Unfortunately, I don’t think WP is capable of that. Content is generally independent of theme.

    Can you just view the pages while in edit mode? Just edit a post/page and click ‘View post’. Looking at the content should tell you which version of the theme created it. Also, the publish date should give a clue as well as the ID (IDs should be in ascending order).

    The WP Show IDs plugin will add an ID column to the list of Posts and Pages so it is easy to find the ID.
