Thanks Chris. Worked wonderfully.

@stacybird Thanks for the help. Saved me from some complicated function…

Hi ChristiNi,

Thanks for the reply. Where would the .htaccess file be found: in my child theme’s directory or the root folder? I’m using Coda and have enabled showing invisible files but the .htaccess file isn’t there….so I’m not sure what to modify.

I tried changing my permalink structure in wordpress from what I normally set it (“/%postname%”) to the default and then back again but still no luck.

Again, thanks for any help.

Figured it out myself; but understanding the “published” status part was key. Thanks again!!!!!

In case anyone else needs something similar.

<?php
 $dd_post_id = 1;
 $dd_check_post_id = get_page( $dd_post_id );
 $dd_post_url = get_permalink( $dd_post_id );

  if ($dd_check_post_id->post_status == 'publish') echo '<div><a href="'.$dd_post_url.'">'.$dd_post_title.'</a></div>';
?>

the code didn’t show, now it should:

<a href="<?php the_post_link ?>">link text</a>

keesiemeijer – wonderful piece of code, thanks! Do you think you might be able to help me? I’d like to only display a text and have it link to the actual content, so I’d need to get the post url, not it’s content and echo that into a link:

“>link text

Thanks in advance!

I had this same problem, a client wanted image-only buttons in the nav.

The solution I found was based on this article. So basically:
1. Add a custom menu.
2. Add a custom link.
3. In the Label, put the url of the image that will represent the ‘button’ for that page.
4. In the URL, add the url of the page where the user will be taken on click.

A little bit longer, but for me it was what I needed.
