    Hi @amstellodamois

    It looks like you are using a plugin that is allowing you to create a Button in a widget, is this correct? I’m not sure that using a Shortcode would work. It seems that there should be an option for inserting a link.

    The Button widget wouldn’t be something included in WooCommerce core, but I was able to use a Text widget and then used the HTML for linking to a page to make it work for me

    I should probably have been clearer.

    I don’t think the button is anything special, I’m running the Astra theme in WooCommerce, nothing fancier. I tried [product_page id=”1360″] because it’s a shortcode included here and thought it might work.

    My question should have been: How can I link (using a full link with my domain name, a local shortcut, anything) to a product using its ID rather than its slug?
    (Reason is I may modify the slug and wouldn’t like to break my links)

    EDIT: Upon further research, I discovered I could use ?post_type=product&p=1071. Any word of advice or is that a proper solution?

    Hi @amstellodamois

    You could technically link to the post ID using the “non-pretty” permalink structure.

    Like so:

    https://www.example.com/?p=123

    Where 123 is the post ID of the product.
