Shortlink at the bottom of content on a tag post

[bluenavy]

Is it possible to add a shortlink to the bottom of content on a tag post based on its permalink.

I have a plugin that adds a link onto the bottom of content on a post page based on its permalink, but for the life of me, I have no idea what to tweak to make it work on a tag post.

Is it possible to do this on a tag post ?

The plugin i am using has the following code :

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Add Shortlink to Posts
Description: Adds a link to the shortlink for each post below the content.

/*
* Localise the plugin
*/
load_plugin_textdomain('astp');

/*
* Adds the shortlink on the end of posts
*/
function astp_add_shortlink($content){

// Don't add shortlink to excerpts
if ( ! is_single() )
return $content;

// Generate the shortlink
$shortlink = wp_get_shortlink();
$shortlink = ( ! empty( $shortlink ) ? $shortlink : get_permalink() );

// Generate the html
$html = sprintf(
'<p class="the_shortlink">%s %s</p>',
__(" ", 'astp'),
$shortlink,
get_the_title(),
$shortlink
);

// Add to the content
return $content . $html;

}
add_filter( "the_content", "astp_add_shortlink", 11 );

?>

I have no idea what you mean when you say tag post. A post is a just a post regardless if it has tags or not.

Maybe understanding how wp_get_shortlink() works will help you: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_shortlink

Hi Victor - I have a post and have added 5 tags to the post.

This has generated 5 tag posts that have their own individual permalinks.

I have used the case i posted to get wordpress to put a shortlink under the content but it has just worked on the 1 post and not for the tag posts.

I presume the code to get it to work on the post is not directed at tag posts and I just wanted to know what I would target to get a shorter to be outputted to all the tag posts ?

The code currently reads

add_filter( "the_content", "astp_add_shortlink", 11 );

would the below suffice ?

add_filter( "genesis_after_post_content", "astp_add_shortlink", 11 );

or is their a filter that would enable me to enable a shortlink to be displayed at the bottom of all tags, posts or pages or any other post taxonomy ?

Thanks

Do you mean tag archive pages?

This might work

yes sorry for my bad terminology ::embarrassed::

Ideally i would like to add something to that code so it all outputs the same

Sorry for the confusion

@braddalton

That works a treat just two little niggles which may be an easy one for you to assist.

I am using the below code from your site - https://wpsites.net/web-design/add-shortlink-anywhere-in-genesis/

Great resource and bookmarked !

add_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'add_wp_get_shortlink' );
function add_wp_get_shortlink() {
    printf( '<a href="%s">' . __( 'Your link text here' ) . '</a>',  __( wp_get_shortlink() ) );
}

It outputs the shortlink at the bottom of the page as needed ( Thankyou !! )

Is their a way I can tweak the ( 'Your link text here' ) code to change the outputted text to the shortlink ie https://myshortlinkonthesceenatthebottom.com/wootwoot

Secondly the shortlink is being generated to the post permalink as opposed to the permalink of the actual tag archive page.

Is their a way to tweak that so the shortlink generated is strictly based on the tag archive page permalink ?

If it helps my permalink structure is based on /%category%/%postname%/ and my tag base is 'aortic aneurysms'

Thankyou so much in advance and I apologise for my incorrect terminology or if I am not as fluent in the code language.

Thanks

Use a different function to get the tag archive permalink and different hook.

You can modify the default text, simple as that.

Thanks for the response.

What I meant was that I was trying to make the shortlink just replicate the shortlink url, the issue i am facing is that if I have 2, 3, 5, 11, 20 or 30 pages, if i just put a generic text in ( 'Your link text here' ) then it will be the same for all pages and I wanted the individual shortlink to be replicated in text.

With regards to using a different function, for the lack of trying I did try to glean some info online but was a tad overwhelmed with the jargon.

Do you have nay ideas on a simple way to get the tag archive permalink ?

The hook ( I hope that is the correct phrase ) is correct and the shortlink displays where it should be.

Is this the bit which defines the post type

if ( is_tag() ) {

I could live with just putting a generic ( 'Aortic Deviation' ) in the that field and its just the shortlink being based on the tag archive permalink that is really throwing me ;(

There is no short link for the tag archive permalink, only single post permalink ( the code of which i have already provided ).

If you want to get the permalink for the tag archive, you can use get_tag_link as another option to get_term_link.

The full code for what you're wanting would need to be written and tested otherwise you may find an existing tutorial which contains code you can use as is or which you can modify.

Thankyou for your response.

Is this something you could code on a developer basis ( for a fee of course )

If so, please let me know and length of time to create.

Many Thanks
