Get the current page URL (including pagination)

Question

Is there a WP function to automatically get the correct URL of the current page? Meaning if I just opened a single post, the function returns the same as get_permalink(), but if I'm on a paginated instance of a page (when paginating through the comments), the function returns the same as get_pagenum_link(get_query_var('paged')) would do.

I've searched the codex but didn't find what I was looking for. (But even get_pagenum_link() isn't documented there.)

I know about this function already, but I would be glad if there was a "native" WP function that does the job.

Thanks in advance! Regards, René

Answer 1

I dont now of pagination but You can use this function to get url within the loop

<?php $ID = get_the_ID(); 
echo get_permalink( $ID ); ?>

Or else if you dont prefer to use php you can also opt for jquery method here (this will help you to make it work outside the loop)

$(document).ready(function () {
var vhref = $(location).attr('href');
var vTitle = $(this).attr('title');
$('#spnTitle').html('' + vTitle + '');
$('#spnURL').html('' + vhref + '');
});​

or if u prefer to use php function you need to get the id outside the loop

global $wp;
$current_url = add_query_arg( $wp->query_string, '', home_url( $wp->request ) );

Not a function, but definately using wordpress code..

wp_guess_url is what you are looking for.

Guess the URL for the site.

Will remove wp-admin links to retrieve only return URLs not in the wp-admin directory.
