Did you ever find a solution for this? I am wanting to do this for all my urls….

***Nevermind, I changed the blog and wordpress urls in the General settings to “https://….”

Even better… (handles permalinks)

function get_page_url_by_pagename($pagename) {
  $p = get_posts("pagename=$pagename");
  $p = $p[0];
  $url = get_permalink($p);
  return $url;
}

Got it…

The query_posts() method modifies “The Loop”. You can use the get_posts() method instead:

function get_page_url_by_pagename($pagename) {
  $p = get_posts("pagename=$pagename");
  $p = $p[0];
  return $p->guid;
}

Thanks for the reply. I’ve created some custom pages using custom templates. On some of them I have included links that need to go to other pages and also a form submission where the form action is the url of another page. I would like some way of generating the url as shown in my original post. I tried the following but it starting messing up how posts were displayed in WordPress 2.8:

function get_page_url_by_pagename($pagename) {
  $p = query_posts("pagename=$pagename");
  $p = $p[0];
  return $p->guid;
}

Because I need this functionality outside “The Loop”, the_permalink() functions, etc. won’t work for me.

Any thoughts?

cool, thanks!

it looks like it only generates an html unordered list. is there a way to get an html ordered list?
