How to get url of a post from admin panel

3 comments

1. You can get the ID of the post you’re editing like this:

   //currently edited post id 
   $cep_id = $_GET['post'];
   //permalink
   get_permalink( $cep_id );
   

   This is and can only work if your editing an existing/saved post. It won’t and can’t work on »Add New«-Pages, because the post you’re going to add isn’t saved to the database yet, after »Publish« has been pressed one gets redirected to the actual »Edit«-Page and the above is possible.

2. If you are looking for the post edit url for admin end and you have the post id (suppose $post_id) with you, then you can use the following code for getting the url.

   $post_url = admin_url( 'post.php?post=' . $post_id ) . '&action=edit';
   

3. You can use the ‘current_screen’ hook and get_permalink():

   add_action( 'current_screen', function ( $screen ) {
       $url = get_permalink( $screen->id );
       // ...
   } );
   

   This hook receives a WP_Screen_Object with misc. information about the current admin screen the user is browsing. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/current_screen and http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_permalink for details.
