So in the video, Zac Gordon shows us how to link to the Portfolio list page by hard coding the ID of the gallery. He did not talk about how to dynamically create that. Anyone know how?

12,612 PointsHi Engelbert Ebalo you can output the ID of a post by using the following code:
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

Treehouse Guest TeacherHi,
There is not a way to dynamically figure out the ID of your portfolio page without going into the WordPress admin area to look for it in the URL.
If you think about it, you can either use the slug of a page or the ID of a page to link to it. Since the slug can change, the ID is more reliable. However, you can also use the slug of the URL instead.
Hope this helps

3,697 PointsHi Caroline, thanks for the response. I have tried this method as well but it is only the ID of the post, not the actual gallery. any thoughts on that?
