get url page template

Question

I have created a page template where I need current page URL

I have tried

get_site_url();

and

get_permalink();

but it shows nothing.

Let me know is anything missing in code.

You meant custom page template or a normal template? – SarahCoding Jul 30 '16 at 10:36 — SarahCoding, Jul 30 '16 at 10:36

if you're using a page template, then if you want to get the current page URL you could try to use this function:

get_permalink();

or

echo get_permalink();

if you want to print the result

You can get page url like this.

global $post;
echo get_permalink( $post->ID );

Hope it helps :)

$post may be overwritten by a secondary query, in this case get_queried_object() is safer and avoids accessing globals directly. – Milo Jul 30 '16 at 15:40
global variable must not be overwritten that's the bad practise. – ma_dev_15 Aug 1 '16 at 4:31
Using the API overwrites $post, that's how the_post works. Use API functions when available rather than relying on global variables. – Milo Aug 1 '16 at 14:49
