I am using the <?php the_shortlink(); ?> code and I want to display just the link and not the default text. For example, it will say something like "Blog Post Shortlink" and below it, it will display the shortlink "example.com/?=whatever". How can I do this? Thank you!
[resolved] the_shortlink How to show just link? (9 posts)

Try
<?php global $post; wp_get_shortlink( $post->ID ); ?> -
I tried using that code and it does not work. I doesn't show anything.

I changed it to
the_shortlinkand it now shows the post ID, however I would like for it to show the whole link (including example.com?=" or whatever it shows. Thanks! -
It worked! All I did was copied this code
<?php echo wp_get_shortlink(get_the_ID()); ?>and it shows up nicely. Thank you! -
This code also seems to work if you get rid of
get_theID()from inside the parentheses. -
You're welcome!

Posted 7 months ago #Thanks for this guys. I wanted to create a custom RSS feed with the shortlink instead of permalink, used <?php echo wp_get_shortlink(get_the_ID()); ?>, and it worked like a charm.
