how to change the permalink to a specific location?

Question

I have this slider on my front page. Right now when I click on an image it goes directly to the permalink and the post. How do I make all the slides go to one specific page?

this is the loop for the slider:

<ul class="tm_magzslider">
    <?php 
    $recent = new WP_Query( array(  "cat" => $tmcategory, 
                                    "posts_per_page" => $tm_totalpost, 
                                    "post_type" => "post", 
                                 ) 
                          ); 
    while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post(); 
    ?>

        <?php if (has_post_thumbnail()) { ?>        
        <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
        <img src="<?php $image_id = get_post_thumbnail_id(); $image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src($image_id,"img737", true); echo $image_url[0]; ?>" alt="<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>" title="<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>">
        </a></li>       
        <?php } else { ?>       
        <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
        <img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/nophoto515.png" alt="<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>" title="<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>">
        </a></li>
        <?php } ?>

    <?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>

I changed the code to this but still it dosent work?:

<?php if (has_post_thumbnail()) { ?>        
        <li><a href="<?php get_permalink(22); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
        <img src="<?php $image_id = get_post_thumbnail_id(); $image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src($image_id,"img737", true); echo $image_url[0]; ?>" alt="<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>" title="<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>">
        </a></li>       
        <?php } else { ?>       
        <li><a href="<?php get_permalink(22); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
        <img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/nophoto515.png" alt="<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>" title="<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>">
        </a></li>
        <?php } ?>

    <?php endwhile; ?>

Answer 1

Here's how you can modify your code to make all slides link to a specific page with ID 22:

Replace this code with your own implementation

<ul class="tm_magzslider">
<?php 
$recent = new WP_Query( array(  "cat" => $tmcategory, 
                                "posts_per_page" => $tm_totalpost, 
                                "post_type" => "post", 
                             ) 
                      ); 
$specific_page_url = get_permalink(22); // Get the permalink for the specific page
while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post(); 
?>

    <?php if (has_post_thumbnail()) { ?>        
    <li><a href="<?php echo $specific_page_url; ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
    <img src="<?php $image_id = get_post_thumbnail_id(); $image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src($image_id,"img737", true); echo $image_url[0]; ?>" alt="<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>" title="<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>">
    </a></li>       
    <?php } else { ?>       
    <li><a href="<?php echo $specific_page_url; ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
    <img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/nophoto515.png" alt="<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>" title="<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>">
    </a></li>
    <?php } ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

Answer 2

echo get_permalink(123); instead of the_permalink(), provided you know the ID of the "specific page".

the_permalink() will always link to the current post in the Loop, and somewhat nonsensically does not take an ID parameter the way that get_permalink() does.

Answer 3

Use echo get_the_permalink($id)(Your post $id) Or echo get_the_permalink()
