wp_get_shortlink() WordPress Function
The wp_get_shortlink() function is used to retrieve the shortlink for a given post. Shortlinks are useful for sharing links to content on social media platforms that have character limits, such as Twitter. This function accepts a single parameter, the post ID, and returns the shortlink for that post.
wp_get_shortlink( int $id, string $context = 'post', bool $allow_slugs = true ) #
Returns a shortlink for a post, page, attachment, or site.
Description
This function exists to provide a shortlink tag that all themes and plugins can target. A plugin must hook in to provide the actual shortlinks. Default shortlink support is limited to providing ?p= style links for posts. Plugins can short-circuit this function via the ‘pre_get_shortlink’ filter or filter the output via the ‘get_shortlink’ filter.
Parameters
- $id
(int)(Optional) A post or site ID. Default is 0, which means the current post or site.
- $context
(string)(Optional) Whether the ID is a 'site' ID, 'post' ID, or 'media' ID. If 'post', the post_type of the post is consulted. If 'query', the current query is consulted to determine the ID and context.
Default value: 'post'
- $allow_slugs
(bool)(Optional) Whether to allow post slugs in the shortlink. It is up to the plugin how and whether to honor this.
Default value: true
Return
(string) A shortlink or an empty string if no shortlink exists for the requested resource or if shortlinks are not enabled.
