Um…. category/archive pages don’t have post ids.
OK, thanks. I guess I was given some bad info. Basically, I am trying to redirect to a specific URL if the ‘direct_jump’ metapost data value of a post is set (to a URL) when I click on a post link. Any idea how to do this?
You could use conditionals first – is_category(), is_single etc. Then based on the results, test on post id or cat id etc.

Thank you, that does the trick. I am still getting confused as to which type of pages I am looking at (archive vs. category vs. post, etc.) but going through the codex functions reference is helping.
Thanks for your help on this.
