get_permalink($id) and get_permalink($id) get_post_permalink ($id) Return current page Url, not Url of requested ID

[thefraj]

If I had a page (say) ID = 4 and then did:

<a href="<?php echo get_post_permalink(4); ?>">the link</a>

this will return the link to the current page, not the link of page ID = 4

Your documentation suggests it would return the Url of page ID = 4 as detailed here ​https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_permalink/

Sorry, the title should have read:

get_post_permalink($id) and get_permalink($id) this bug affects both of these methods where it is not possible to obtain a Url of the requested page or post Id

Hi there,
get_post_permalink will give result only for custom post types. Try to check if you are passing the CPT's id.

@thefraj I could not reproduce the issue. Tried by adding your snippet with my own custom Post ID

<a href="<?php echo get_post_permalink(717); ?>">the link</a>

and

<a href="<?php echo get_permalink(717); ?>">the link</a>

in a detail page of another custom post type (single-hotel.php).
In both occasions correct permalink for post ID 717 were generated.

Hello @thefraj,

Does this issue persist today? If yes, please provide us with more details and feedback to help us investigate.

Like @subrataemfluence, I too was not able to reproduce the issue.

For now, I'm marking this ticket as a close worksforme candidate. Why? Not finding this issue reported elsewhere, can't reproduce, and it's been over 4 years since reporter feedback requested. Will review if/when feedback provided.
