 * Is there a way to display the shortlink? I’m using:
 * `<?php the_shortlink('####', null, 'Short Link: ', null); ?>`
 * It returns, “Short Link: ###” and I would like to return “Short Link: [http://example.com/?p=2704&#8221](http://example.com/?p=2704&#8221);
 * Thanks

 * Assuming that this is within the Loop, try using `<?php echo wp_get_shortlink(
   get_the_ID()); ?>`.
