Question

I’m currently working on a WordPress website for the first time, in one of my views I load content dynamically via AJAX, but this information doesn’t include the permalink for the posts I load. I wanted to know how I can get the permalink for a post via AJAX by providing the post ID.

Answer 1

This WordPress function returns the permalink for a given ID.

get_permalink()

Back-end:

<?php

    add_action('wp_ajax_get_permalink', 'ajax_get_permalink');
    add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_get_permalink', 'ajax_get_permalink');

    function ajax_get_permalink(){
        echo get_permalink(intval($_REQUEST['id']));
        die();
    }

    wp_localize_script( 'ajax_get_permalink', 'ajax_get_permalink', array(
        ajax_url =>  admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' )  
    ));

?>

Front-end:

var data = {
    action: 'get_permalink',
    id: the_post_id
};

jQuery.post(ajax_get_permalink.ajax_url, data, function(response) {
    permalink = response;
});
