edit_post_link() WordPress Function

The edit_post_link() function allows you to add an "edit" link to a post or page in WordPress. This can be useful if you want to allow users to edit their own posts, or if you want to offer a way for people to suggest edits to your content. The edit_post_link() function takes two parameters: the post ID and the text to be displayed for the link. For example, to add an "edit" link to a post with an ID of 1234, you would use the following code: This would display a link with the text "Edit this post" that links to the editing screen for the post with an ID of 1234.

edit_post_link( string $text = null, string $before = '', string $after = '', int|WP_Post $id, string $class = 'post-edit-link' ) #

function edit_post_link( $text = null, $before = '', $after = '', $id = 0, $class = 'post-edit-link' ) {
	$post = get_post( $id );
	if ( ! $post ) {
		return;
	}

	$url = get_edit_post_link( $post->ID );
	if ( ! $url ) {
		return;
	}

	if ( null === $text ) {
		$text = __( 'Edit This' );
	}

	$link = '<a class="' . esc_attr( $class ) . '" href="' . esc_url( $url ) . '">' . $text . '</a>';
