get_page_by_title( string $page_title, string $output = OBJECT, string|array $post_type = 'page' )
Retrieve a page given its title.
Description
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.
Parameters
- $page_title
-
(string) (Required) Page title.
- $output
-
(string) (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 value: OBJECT
- $post_type
-
(string|array) (Optional) Post type or array of post types.
Default value: 'page'
Return
(WP_Post|array|null) WP_Post (or array) on success, or null on failure.
