   Hi,

   I'm working on a sidebar widget and I need to get the page/post id of the page I calculate.

   I can't une the_ID because the sidebar is outside The Loop.

   I've read something like rewind_post() and I've to test it.

   Does somebody have another way to retreive this ID ?

   Thanks,
   Laurent

   I'm a bit surprised the answer to this question is so difficult to find. Or maybe I don't know where/how to look. I've tried the following function, but it's not working for in my widget (though it does work for me directly when I hard code it into sidebar.php).

   `// Works in single post outside of the Loop
   function function_name() {
   global $wp_query;
   $thePostID = $wp_query->post->ID;
   }`
