Returns a shortlink for a post, page, attachment, or site.

Description

This function exists to provide a shortlink tag that all themes and plugins can target.
A plugin must hook in to provide the actual shortlinks. Default shortlink support is limited to providing ?p= style links for posts. Plugins can short-circuit this function via the ‘pre_get_shortlink’ filter or filter the output via the ‘get_shortlink’ filter.

Parameters

$idintoptional

A post or site ID. Default is 0, which means the current post or site.

$contextstringoptional

Whether the ID is a 'site' ID, 'post' ID, or 'media' ID. If 'post', the post_type of the post is consulted. If 'query', the current query is consulted to determine the ID and context. Default 'post'.

Default:'post'

$allow_slugsbooloptional

Whether to allow post slugs in the shortlink. It is up to the plugin how and whether to honor this.

Default:true
