Had a request last week to create a shortcode that would output the current page URL within a post or page in WordPress.
Here you go, edit your /wp-content/themes/themeName/functions.php file and add this to the bottom:
add_shortcode ('geturl', 'get_current_page_url'); function get_current_page_url() { $pageURL = 'http'; if( isset($_SERVER["HTTPS"]) ) { if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";} } $pageURL .= "://"; if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") { $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; } else { $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; } return $pageURL; }
All set! Now on the page or post drop in:
[geturl]
