Wordpress How to Check whether it is POST or PAGE

Question

How to check if an article is a post or a page in WordPress?

Answer 1

If you're looping through a collection of posts/pages (say, on a search results page), then is_single() and is_page() won't be of any use. In this situation, you could grab the global $post object (of type WP_Post) and examine the $post->post_type property. Possible values include 'post' and 'page'.
