sharing link based on function urlencode(get_permalink())) does not work on blog

The only place I see sharing links on the blog is in the footer - are those the ones you mean?

If so, the footer is out of the "loop", so the get_permalink() function may act funny.

You may have to get the $post global as explained here: https://tommcfarlin.com/get-permalink-outside-loop/

Hi Tom,

since I am not a PHP expert at akll, perhaps you are able to help me out slightly more?

I have added the function
function my_get_permalink() {
global $post;
get_permalink($post->ID);
}

to the file functions.php of my child-theme.

Then I am trying to use <?php echo urlencode(my_get_permalink()); ?> instead of <?php echo urlencode(get_permalink()); ?> but the result is an empty string.

Did I miss anything?

Best regards

M.

Hmm, his code seems to be a little off.

Try this:

function generate_custom_permalink() {
	global $post;
	echo get_permalink($post->ID);
}

Then use: generate_custom_permalink()
