   What is the best way to get the page or post ID in a sidebar widget? I am trying to make sidebar widgets that do things like display a list of related file attachments for that page/post.

   Hi,

   You can use like below:

   $post_id = $GLOBALS['post']->ID;

   Very close to my need !

   I'm looking for this for category without post_id defined.

   Any solution ?

   If you are trying to display the category id for all/one category look at Function_Reference/get_categories.

   If in admin you are looking for the id see:
   How do I determine a Post, Page, Category, Tag, Link, Link Category, or User ID?
