    Hi all,

    I’m still pretty new to wordpress so please be gentle.

    I am looking to update the way I link to pages on my site. I want to use the <?php echo get_permalink(1); ?> function. This way if I change my permalink structure, for any reason, I don’t have to trawl through all my old posts and pages to update all the links. Does anyon know how I can find out all the permalink numbers and which page/post they relate to?

    Thanks,
    Harry.

    I’ve found out how to do it. It’s a bit of a pain but it works.

    Goto your dashboard, load the posts or pages section, hover over the post/page title and you’ll see the number in the link on the status bar at the bottom.

    You can do this or just change your permalink structure to “default” does this code work <?php echo get_permalink(1); ?> and you change the number to whatever page you want it to go to, is it a plug-in?

    you need a plugin that allows you to insert php into pages and posts. I use PHP Execution plugin.

    Once you have the plugin installed you can replace your links with

    <a href ="<?php echo get_permalink(269); ?>">New page</a>

    Obviously you need to know the numbers for each of your pages and posts.
