Suppose that I create a page in the admin section (under 'Pages') and I have permalinks turned on and this pages slug is 'my-new-page', then is there a WordPress function that will work outside the (blog) Loop that I can use in that page's template on my theme that will retrieve that page's permalink?

Hi @racl101:
I think what you are after is to use get_page_link($post->ID). The value $post will have been set by the default query to be equal to the post for the current page and should be in scope when your page template is run.

Also if your code is in a function, make sure that you make $post global. – Manny Fleurmond Jan 14 '11 at 3:08

yes first of all you would need to require wp-load.php in your custom area using this code:
<?php
require( '../my_wordpress_install_root/wp-load.php' ); ?>
And after that you can follow thsi tut to call any page : http://www.snilesh.com/resources/wordpress/wordpress-tips-and-tricks/wordpress-get-page-content-by-page-id/

The original question describes then need to call it outside the Loop, but still in WordPress templates - core would be loaded just fine as usual. – Rarst Jan 14 '11 at 6:30
