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.

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.
