# Get permalink by post title

 * My question is very simple:
 * Looking to get the permalink of a post using it’s title. Basically trying to 
   accomplish something that would work like “get_permalink(‘Title of Post’)”.
 * When I use “get_permalink(‘100’)”, for example, all it does is output [http://www.mysite.com/?p=100](http://www.mysite.com/?p=100),
   which is especially worthless since I’m using pretty permalinks.
 * The reason I can’t just put the link into the post directly is because it will
   be supplied conditionally by a custom meta field.
 * Any thoughts?

 * If I understand what you’re looking for correctly, `<?php echo $post->post_name;?
   >` should do it.

 * Thanks for the reply. My fault, I should have been more specific:
 * The call I want to make will be within a post’s loop but in reference to another
   post in a different category.
 * The exact situation is that I have a post in a “Shows” category containing an
   upcoming event’s details. One of those details I would like to be a link to a
   post in a “Venues” category, that has the venue’s address, a google map API, 
   and other details about the venue.
 * I probably have to do another Query…but I’m not sure how to accomplish this.
