Thanks! I think that's what I did last time, it doesn't seem to like my code- keeps wanting to break out. I'll just put a screenshot of my code instead...
You could do something like this (pay particular attention to the note about the code being slow because it will hit the database):
// Replace this example GUID with a real one.
var nodeGuid = new Guid("00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000");
var service = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService;
// This is slow because it hits the database.
var dbContent = service.GetById(nodeGuid);
var nodeId = dbContent.Id;
var node = Umbraco.Content(nodeId);
By the way, you can see the node GUID right under the node ID in the "Properties" tab:
I would recommend using content pickers or web.config settings to store the node ID's, but this should be an OK interim solution.
If you are going to be doing multilingual sites I would strongly recommend that you get rid of the "hard bindings to ids" as well, unless it is referring to a central repository
I broke my umbraco forum thread !?
I was having a very helpful conversation with Nicholas Westby when I posted some code and completely broke the thread...
https://our.umbraco.org/forum/templates-partial-views-and-macros/77499-need-nodeids-to-be-the-same-on-both-dev-site-and-live-site
I can no longer edit my comment or post a new comment, and I assume no one else can post comments there now either?
Has this happened to anyone else?
@Nicholas Westby- if you see this, can we continue the conversation here??
Sure. Feel free to post your code again but use this button to format your code:
Here's a screenshot that shows how to do it (sorry if the self-reference is confusing):

Hope you're able to open and read it...

Yay, that worked! Thank you so much! Will this solution or changing web.config still work if we make this into a 1:1 multilingual site down the road?
I would recommend replacing this approach first chance you get (hitting the database a bunch can be problematic for high load websites).
However, I'm not sure what implications this has for multilingual websites.
OK, thanks again- I will make changing this a priority. Really appreciate your help :)

Thanks Kenneth, I'll definitely change this before we go multilingual with it.
