 * Hi,
 * When I’m in a subpage I’m getting the parent page title using something like 
   that:
 * `$parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent); echo $parent_title;`
 * I’m looking for a tip to link the parent title with the parent page permalink.
 * Thanks in advance!

 *     ```
       $parent = get_page_by_title($parent_title);
       $parent_link = '<a href="'.$parent->guid.'">'.$parent_title.'</a>'
       ```

 * [@esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/)‘ I get the correct parent 
   url but unfortunately it’s got the ‘.$parent_title.’ attached to the end of it
   rendering it a broken link.

 * Try this:
 *     ```
       <?php $permalink = get_permalink($post->post_parent); ?>
       <a href="<?php echo $permalink; ?>"Parent</a>
       ```

 * I used the code that PSound gave, though please note it needs one fix for a typo:
 *     ```
       <?php $permalink = get_permalink($post->post_parent); ?>
       <a href="<?php echo $permalink; ?>">Parent</a>
       ```
   
 * Thanks, PSound!
