   How do I get the URL if I have the slug?

   I'm implementing a feature on a theme where the admin can specify the link to use for an image. I want to allow them to specify either an explicit HTTP address or select a page. If they select a page, I only want to store the slug so that they can move the page to a different location if they want and it will still work.

   Is there a function in WP that takes a slug and returns the full URL, or even partial URL (meaning I'd need to call get_setting('home'))?

   Thanks,
   David

   The slug is the post_name value in the wp_posts table. A simple query should get it for you-- SELECT guid FROM wp_posts WHERE post_name = 'whatever'.
