How do I get the permalink of a custom post type?

Question

I can get the permalink of a specific post tag or category, but what if I want to get the permalink of a custom post type? I can't find anything in the Codex or anywhere else about how to do this.

Answer 1

How about <?php get_post_type_archive_link( $post_type ); ?>, where $post_type is your post type?

I know this post might be old but just in case someone else is searching the function that does this, here's the one i wrote. $post_type must be passed as a variable :)

if( !function_exists( 'wp_get_post_type_link' )  ){
    function wp_get_post_type_link( &$post_type ){

        global $wp_rewrite; 

        if ( ! $post_type_obj = get_post_type_object( $post_type ) )
            return false;

        if ( get_option( 'permalink_structure' ) && is_array( $post_type_obj->rewrite ) ) {

            $struct = $post_type_obj->rewrite['slug'] ;
            if ( $post_type_obj->rewrite['with_front'] )
                $struct = $wp_rewrite->front . $struct;
            else
                $struct = $wp_rewrite->root . $struct;

            $link = home_url( user_trailingslashit( $struct, 'post_type_archive' ) );       

        } else {
            $link = home_url( '?post_type=' . $post_type );
        }

        return apply_filters( 'the_permalink', $link );
    }
}

Hope it helps ! :)

Answer 3

Within the loop, you can simply use the_permalink(). Outside of the loop, you can use get_permalink( $id ).

Answer 4

yeah I think you need to display link to display somewhere on site then you need to pass echo get_bloginfo('url')/movie-reviews

Answer 5

Or, for what it's worth, get_term_link($term, $taxonomy); - Codex.
