This problem can be solved by doing this…
function pass_post_id_as_string() {
global $post;
$post_id = $post-> ID;
$post_id_as_string = (string)$post_id;
return $post_id_as_string;
}
add_action('wp_head', 'pass_post_id_as_string');
in the location part of the array (see above) set the value as the function.
