How do I get the permalink of a custom post type?

4 comments

1. How about href="<?php echo get_post_type_archive_link( $post_type ); ?>", where $post_type is your post type?

2. Within the loop, you can simply use the_permalink(). Outside of the loop, you can use get_permalink( $id ).

3. Or, for what it’s worth, get_term_link($term, $taxonomy); – Codex.

4. I know this post might be old but just in case someone else is searching the function that does this, here’s the one i wrote. $post_type must be passed as a variable 🙂

   if( !function_exists( 'wp_get_post_type_link' )  ){
       function wp_get_post_type_link( &$post_type ){
   
           global $wp_rewrite; 
   
           if ( ! $post_type_obj = get_post_type_object( $post_type ) )
               return false;
   
           if ( get_option( 'permalink_structure' ) && is_array( $post_type_obj->rewrite ) ) {
   
               $struct = $post_type_obj->rewrite['slug'] ;
               if ( $post_type_obj->rewrite['with_front'] )
                   $struct = $wp_rewrite->front . $struct;
               else
                   $struct = $wp_rewrite->root . $struct;
   
               $link = home_url( user_trailingslashit( $struct, 'post_type_archive' ) );       
   
           } else {
               $link = home_url( '?post_type=' . $post_type );
           }
   
           return apply_filters( 'the_permalink', $link );
       }
   }
   

   Hope it helps ! 🙂
