And now my link is as belows

xyz.com/?page_id=634

I have tried to put link relative like

../?page_id=634

but its not working. Any suggestion regarding this?

Answer 1

You should be using home_url() ( or something similar ) in your links for theme files when linking to pages. This will allow the domain to change and not affect your hardcoded links - assuming the ID's are the same of course.

<a href="<?php echo home_url();?>/?page_id=634">Link</a>

Good luck!

Answer 2

Declare first page id $page_id = 634; , because you will need it to get page url by id. You can put it directly into the method, but its better to separate it, its more neat.

Than you use ` inside of HTML href element to make a link to the page. You dont need to write absolute link, it is NOT recommended at all. When ever you can, try to avoid apsolute link/path/ etc...

$page_id = 634; 
<a href=" <?php get_page( $page_id ) ?> ">link text</a>
