MuTags and permalinks to blogs (8 posts)

    My muTags works ok but the Link to the blogs shows about as ?p=X

    I have fancy perms enabled.

    This is the source
    <h2><a href="<?php the_guid() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

    How do i get it to output the actual permalink rather than the ID ? When try get_blog_permalink ..it only shows mainblog.com/2008/08/post-name (which is 404) instead of subdomain.mainblog.com/2008/08/post-name.

    I'm sure its something simple i'm overlooking ..forgive me if I annoy you :D

    Well, the code does what it is told.

    Your href= the output of the function the_guid

    If you want it to link to the permalink, tell it to do that...

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_permalink
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_permalink

    There's a difference between the two...

    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

    That's what I'm saying!
    <?php the_permalink(); ?> is incorrect for what I want to display. It gives you mainblog.com/2008/08/post-name instead of subdomain.mainblog.com/2008/08/post-name.

    Whats the correct tag for that ? Thanks.

    I've always used the_permalink (or get_permalink) and they've worked fine for me.

    Is the_title() returning the correct post title?

    Yeah the correct title is being return.

    Note that this is on the main blog and i'm trying to display tag results to blogs.

    I am having the same problem. Using the_guid, the link points to user.domain.com/?p=3. When I use the_permalink, the link points to domain.com/2008/9/19/pretty-permalink/. When I use get_permalink, it points to domain.com/tag/tagname.

    Also, is there a way to get the tag links in the subdomains to point to the main blog's tag pages like WordPress.com does? Just curious.

    You need to use <?php echo get_blog_permalink($post->blog_id, get_the_ID()); ?>

    About your second question... I've been searching for a while now on how to do that. No luck yet.

    Thanks Klark0 for the help. The correct permalink is showing up now.
