Best way to add internal link in widget
The page ID can vary in different installation, and it can’t be changed, so an option is to use get_page_by_path because the page slug can be easily changed: <div class=”my-link-box”> <?php $page = get_page_by_path(‘my-page’); ?> <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/126876/<?php echo get_permalink($page); ?>”><?php echo $page->post_title; ?></a> </div> However this is not a great solution as well.
