wordpress loop permalink

First, let me explain the WordPress loop. It is a code used to display posts on your WordPress site. The loop consists of various template tags that retrieve and display information about each post.

To retrieve the permalink for the current post within the loop, you can use the get_permalink() function. This function retrieves the permalink URL for the current post. It does not require any parameters.

Here's an example of how you can use get_permalink() within the WordPress loop:

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
    <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php endwhile; else : ?>
    <p><?php esc_html_e( 'Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.' ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

In this example, the get_permalink() function is used to retrieve the permalink URL for each post, and it is then used as the href attribute in an anchor tag to create a link to the post.

I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you need further assistance!
