How to hyperlink content from archive page with custom post-type

by

use the_permalink or get_the_permalink to display/retrieve the URL of a post ( a post of any type, they’re all the same internally )

e.g.

the_permalink();

Notice I used esc_url to escape the value for security reasons.

Here are some similar functions you might find useful:

  • get_post_type_archive_link('product') should return /product/ or the equivalent archive for that post type that WP generates
  • get_term_link( 'purple', 'colours') fetches the archive link for posts that have the term purple in the custom taxonomy colours. Note that this can also be used for tags and categories. The functions such as tag_link etc all use this function inside them so cut out the middle man!
  • get_author_posts_url(1) gets the URL of the author posts archive for the user with ID 1
  • get_day_link( $year, $month, $day ) gets the link to a date archive by day
  • get_month_link, get_year_link, same as above
  • get_comment_link( $comment ), get the permalink to a comment

Note that all of these should be escaped with esc_url at the moment of output, with the exception of the_permalink which escapes internally
