Page URL to be displayed on the top of each post or page

Hi @aclassifier

I hope you are doing well today.

In such a scenario, it will be good to create a child theme and in the correct place, like the header, footer or your page template, implement this code:

global $wp;
$current_url = home_url( add_query_arg( array(), $wp->request ) );
echo $current_url;

Also, you can close this code in a div and adjust the CSS so it will look better in the place where you will put it.

Kind Regards,
Kris

Hi @aclassifier

The code I have shared above, should be placed in php file as this is PHP code. It will not work in CSS file. You need to edit one of the child theme files and place it in php tags to make it work.

When it comes to CSS, you can close that code in HTML tag, like div for example, use custom class and by using that class, adjust the design.

Here is some example:

PHP file

<div class="your_custom_class">
<?php

Your PHP code

?>
</div>

CSS file

.your_custom_class {}

Hi @aclassifier ,

I hope you’re doing well.

Will any .php file in the directory /twentytwelve-child just be included when all pages or posts are loaded?

Not exactly, for a .php file to work, it must either be a recognized template, explicitly included, or hooked into WordPress’s execution flow.

Here is more info about WP Child Themes – https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/

In case yes, I assume that your code

will need to be told that it should be drawn with the header?

In case no, what should the file be called in order for that code in it be included when he screens are drawn?

You can add the code directly to your header.php file on the theme in case you need it on the header, or just use a plugin like https://wordpress.com/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers

If you are going with the plugin, please create a backup first and use the PHP option when adding the PHP code.

I hope this helps.
