All you need is the ID. This can come in handy when developing content for WordPress sites. Makes for a cleaner migration with no need to manipulate content when moving from one subdirectory or domain to another. Attributes of `append` `class`, `rel`, and `target` are supported within the `[permalink]` opening tag. See FAQs. You can insert the token `%post_title%` to dynamically insert the post’s title into anchor text (content between the opening and closing shortcode). A short code for `[template_uri]` exists if you’d like to dynamically grab the full URL to your current template directory (useful for adding images and other resources bundled in a template via the page/post editor). _Example 1: Create link._ ``` [permalink id=2 rel="internal"]Check out my latest post named %post_title%[/permalink] or use `[permalink]this link[/permalink]` to link to this post. ``` _Example 2: Output Permalink URL._ ``` ;This post.; ``` _Example 3: Template Directory URI_ ``` A Photo of Me and My Grandma ``` ## Screenshots * [[ * Content with short codes. * [[ * The dynamic output. * [[ * Markup. ## Installation 1. Download and unzip to the ‘wp-content/plugins/’ directory 2. Activate the plugin. ## FAQ ### I’ve got multiple permalinker short codes and it’s interpreting them incorrectly and not creating the anchor tags properly. What gives? It is recommended that if you are mixing non-terminating short codes with terminating codes, that you change all non-terminating short codes into terminating short codes with whitespace as the content: ``` [permalink] becomes `[permalink] [/permalink]` ``` Leading or trailing whitespace is trimmed off of any content within the permalinker short code tags. ### Can I add a class, rel, or target attribute to the permalinker output? Yes. Simply add `class`, `rel`, or `target` attributes to the `[permalink]` short code and they will be added to the resulting anchor element: ``` [permalink id="232" rel="related" target="_blank" class="highlight"]My favorite post[/permalink] ``` ### Can I append a named anchor/ID/query string to the generated permalink? Yes! Simply use the new `append` attribute (added in version 1.6): ``` [permalink id="232" append="#comments"]People are talking, talking 'bout people.[/permalink] ``` ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “The Permalinker” is open source software.
