Is that cos they don’t want to or cos it’s too hard? 🙂
Dougal’s plugin is here: http://dougal.gunters.org/blog/2004/06/17/my-first-wordpress-plugin-headmeta I don’t believe it works for WordPress 1.5+ though – not that I’m complaing Dougal!
Here’s an easier way that works for me with or without custom permalinks:
global $posts // if necessary
...
$postid = $posts[0]->ID // note that 'ID' must be upper-case capitals
[This is essentially the code used in wp_title()]
However, it does strike me as odd that The Loop is not initialised before get_header() is called. For example, it must be a common requirement to want to add custom <meta> tags in the header based on custom fields on the post/page.
Any comments please post at http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/32870
Has anyone else had a problem with this?
