 * Just found `get_post_permalink()` function doesn’t honor `Permalink Settings`,
   while `get_permalink()` does. Is that made by purpose?
 * Just curious, thanks.

 * get_post_permalink [_“Retrieves the permalink for a post of a custom post type.”_](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_permalink/)
 * get_permalink [_“Retrieves the full permalink for the current post or post ID.” _](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_permalink/)
 * I _think_ those are the explanations you might be looking for. I hope it’s helpful.

 * Are you confusing get_post_permalink with get_the_permalink?

 * It looks like this question has been answered before a few times on stackoverflow,
   but essentially:
 * >  The get_post_permalink() funciton fetches the link to a post depending on 
   > its “permanent” link plus your custom rewrite rules that changes ?p=123 into
   > for e.g. my-beautiful-sunday-diary. The get_permalink() function is more “basic”
   > but as well more versatile in what it does.
