  1. I changed this function a bit because it did not work for me:

    function getTplPageURL($TEMPLATE_NAME){
    $url = null;
    $pages = get_pages(array(
        'meta_key' => '_wp_page_template',
        'meta_value' => $TEMPLATE_NAME
    ));
    if(isset($pages[0])) {
        $url = get_page_link($pages[0]->ID);
    }
    return $url;
}

    Now works for me fine on wordpress 4.9.4

  2. What it sounds like you’re after is get_page_link(), which is described in more detail here:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_page_link

    If you use this inside the loop of your template it will give you the URL of the page you’re on.

    <?php get_page_link(); ?>

    edit: okay, I misunderstood the request. Here’s another approach based on this answer from the WP StackExchange: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/39657

    function getTplPageURL($TEMPLATE_NAME){
    $url;

    //Code which i need

     $pages = query_posts(array(
         'post_type' =>'page',
         'meta_key'  =>'_wp_page_template',
         'meta_value'=> $TEMPLATE_NAME
     ));

     // cycle through $pages here and either grab the URL
     // from the results or do get_page_link($id) with 
     // the id of the page you want 

     $url = null;
     if(isset($pages[0])) {
         $url = get_page_link($pages[0]['id']);
     }
     return $url;
 }

  3. Working example: 2022

    thanks to TJ Nicolaides

    echo getTplPageURL( 'templates/tpl-about.php' ) ; //path to template file

// in function.php
function getTplPageURL( $TEMPLATE_NAME ) {
    $pages = query_posts( [
        'post_type'  => 'page',
        'meta_key'   => '_wp_page_template',
        'meta_value' => $TEMPLATE_NAME
    ] );
    $url   = '';
    if ( isset( $pages[0] ) ) {
        $array = (array) $pages[0];
        $url   = get_page_link( $array['ID'] );
    }

    return $url;
}
