# use a permalink outside the loop

 * Any way to pull a link from the loop and apply it to another element?
    For example,
 *     ```
       <div class="logo"><a href="want my link here">Logo</a></div>
       <?php
       	$args = array(
       		'post_type' => 'post',
       		'post_per_page' => '10'
       	);
       $the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
       <?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
   
       <li><?php the_title(); ?></li>
   
       <?php endwhile; ?>
       <?php endif; // end have_posts() check ?>
       ```
   
 * I want the link to change on the logo from my 10 post elements.
 * It’s worth mentioning that I want to do this because the list is a rotating carousel.
   So only one list item is visible at a time. So i want the logo to represent the
   permalink of the visible list item.
