the_shortlink How to show just link?

Try

<?php
global $post;
wp_get_shortlink( $post->ID );
?>

I tried using that code and it does not work. I doesn’t show anything.

I changed it to the_shortlink and it now shows the post ID, however I would like for it to show the whole link (including example.com?=” or whatever it shows. Thanks!

Try this:

It worked! All I did was copied this code <?php echo wp_get_shortlink(get_the_ID()); ?> and it shows up nicely. Thank you!

This code also seems to work if you get rid of get_theID() from inside the parentheses.

You’re welcome!

Thanks for this guys. I wanted to create a custom RSS feed with the shortlink instead of permalink, used <?php echo wp_get_shortlink(get_the_ID()); ?>, and it worked like a charm.
