WordPress giving great features in get_posts function with arguments that function also having great customization. get_posts function also give us great result of posts with our complex requirements, so through that function we will get post by post’s url-slug-key. Check out following function I have created to used it easily and post_type is required I have used it for my custom post type “services” you must have to pass it otherwise get_posts don’t return null.
[php]
function get_posts_by_urlslug($the_slug){
$args = array(
‘name’ => $the_slug,
‘post_type’ => ‘services’,
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
‘posts_per_page’ => 1
);
return get_posts( $args );
}
echo ‘<pre>’;print_r(get_posts_by_urlslug(‘laravel-generate-online-password’));echo ‘</pre>’;
[/php]
