Description

Retrieves a page given its title.

If more than one post uses the same title, the post with the smallest ID will be returned. Be careful: in case of more than one post having the same title, it will check the oldest publication date, not the smallest ID. Because this function uses the MySQL '=' comparison, $page_title will usually be matched as case-insensitive with default collation.

Usage

$WP_Post|array|null = get_page_by_title( $page_title, $output, $post_type );

Parameters

$page_title

( string ) required – Page title.

$output

( string ) optional default: OBJECT – Optional. The required return type. One of OBJECT, ARRAY_A, or ARRAY_N, which correspond to a WP_Post object, an associative array, or a numeric array, respectively. Default OBJECT.

$post_type

( string|array ) optional default: page – Optional. Post type or array of post types. Default 'page'.

Returns

WP_Post|array|null WP_Post (or array) on success, or null on failure.
