   We would like to access a post using only the slug. Can we do this with get_post or is there another way, such as somehow using the slug to get a post ID? If so how can we do this? Thanks a bunch.

   Code like this will do it.

   <?php
   $my_query = new WP_Query('name=my-post-slug');
   while ($my_query->have_posts()) {
   $my_query->the_post();
   the_title(); // whatever you want to display the post here
   the_content(); // just like a normal Loop
   }
   ?>

   That works great!

   I am using this to create a specif intro texts for each category and subcategory.

   I give the intro text post for a category or subcategory a slug name composed of the section number followed by "intro", so for category 13 the slug for the intro post would be "13intro"

   (btw, I am editing editing category.php)

   With my additions the code looks like this

   <?php
   $postSlug = $this_category->cat_ID."intro";
   $postSlug = "name=".$postSlug;
   $my_query = new WP_Query($postSlug);
   while ($my_query->have_posts()) {
   $my_query->the_post();
   // the_title(); // whatever you want to display the post here
   the_content(); // just like a normal Loop
   }
   ?>

   How can I modify this text to get the post slugs in the loop, to use it in my code?
