Scenario: The urls and titles of the posts on my blog are usually very long. Whenever I or anyone else tweets the post, I don’t find any space to add the hashtags or quoted retweet text. I don’t want to shorten the titles of the posts, so the other option is to shorten the url. For this purpose I want to grab the shortlink from wordpress post in this format
http://mydomain.com/?p=(post ID)
Can you please tell me how to do it?
Use wp get shortlink
Returns URL based on numerical ID, i.e. http://example.com/?p=1234
