Preserve WordPress post ids as frontmatter metadata

[LeaVerou]

Please consider preserving WordPress’s post ids as frontmatter metadata. Disqus (and potentially other systems) uses them to create unique identifiers to associate its threads with WP posts, so it would make preserving Disqus comments trivial.

It could be a key like wp_id to make the purpose clear. Perhaps it could be opt-in?

@LeaVerou did you fix this

Νο, I extracted the post ids as a separate 11ty data file and add the post id on runtime, see: https://lea.verou.me/blog/2023/preserve-disqus/

Frontmatter handling has been rearchitected, you can now customize which frontmatter fields are included by editing frontmatter_fields in settings.js.

Additionally, a frontmatter getter for ID was added in v2.3.1 so it's ready to use out of the box.
