 * Hi there,
 * I cannot figure this out but I’m sure its pretty simple.
 * I have <?php the_permalink(); ?> pointing to a post on my site e.g. [http://www.mysite.com/test-post](http://www.mysite.com/test-post)
 * What is the code for JUST “test-post”, i.e. without the “www.mysite.com”?
 * I tried <?php the_title(); ?> but that brings up “Test Post”, not the correct
   suffix “test-post”
 * Sorry for not posting my site, it’s not live yet but hopefully the question makes
   sense.
 * Rob

 * I would not worry about the [permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks)
   until the site is live and then just apply your permalinks settings in the admin
   dashboard, this functionality is built into WordPress as long as the slug is 
   set.

 * Unfortunately, there’s a reason that I need to have the slug only but I’ll save
   the explanation… do you know the answer?
