get_page_by_title doesn't work for cutom pages

[o----o]

get_page_by_title() queried for custom pages returns NULL

sorry, I have forgotten WP 3.0.5

If you mean it's not working for custom post types are you correctly specifying the post type you want to look up?

The function signature is:

get_page_by_title($page_title, $output = OBJECT, $post_type = 'page')

So if you want to retrieve an 'album' post type, for example, you would use:

get_page_by_title( 'Album Title', OBJECT, 'album' )

Definitely works as expected with the $post_type parameter in place.
