Getting a list of your wordpress post or page URL can be done using simple PHP call method especially if you want to get it outside wordpress website. For example, you want to use the list to submit your URL to various resource during a SEO campaign you have already made. It also can be retrieved by using XML sitemap file then you can see the URL are sorted hierarchily. But for copy and paste work, it needs little more work to delete unnecessary line. And more work if you want only the slug. You have to edit them using a text editor such as Notepad++.

I have a simpler method using PHP files after reading WordPress Codex guide. and it doesn’t need to edit your list anymore. Just copy from your browser, and you’re done. If you want to get just the post URL, follow this step:

1. Open Notepad++, you can get it here for free (open source).
2. Copy and paste this code below:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

<?
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 99999, 'orderby' => 'post_date', 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_type' => 'post', 'post_status' => 'publish', 'suppress_filters' => true );
$myposts = get_posts($args);
	foreach($myposts as $post){
		echo (the_permalink())."<br>";
}
?>

1. Save it as PHP file and give a name for your file. For example, “getpost.php”.
2. Upload to wordpress root path in your hosting, and then try call the PHP files in your browser. For example, “http://www.yourdomain.com/getpost.php”. You’ll see the result.

Get List of WordPress Post Slug

Within same method explained above, you also can get list of your post slugs. Use this code below instead:

<?

define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 99999, 'orderby' => 'post_date', 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_type' => 'post', 'post_status' => 'publish', 'suppress_filters' => true );
$myposts = get_posts($args);
	foreach($myposts as $post){
		echo $post->post_name."<br>";
}
?>

And save it using different name. You can try “getpostslug.php”.

$pages = get_pages($args); 
  foreach ( $pages as $page ) {
  	echo get_page_link( $page->ID )."<br>";
  }

  }
?>
