Post permalink controls in Elementor
Content sets the permalink or shortlink, how the address is shown, whether it is linked, a fixed-width font, text before and after, a fallback, the HTML tag and an optional icon. The Style tab covers typography, colour, link hover colour, the link line, alignment, surface, border, radius and padding, plus the icon.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use post permalink
Readers citing a post, printing a recipe or copying a link by hand want to see the address, and a raw address in a template often overflows on phones or shows percent codes for non-Latin slugs. Post permalink shows the current post's address in full, without https://, as the path or behind your own text, wraps long addresses cleanly and shows non-Latin slugs in their real characters. The WordPress shortlink is available too.
Print-friendly posts
Keep the address on paper copies of recipes and guides.
Sharing
Give readers a short, stable link with the shortlink.

Post permalink compatibility with Elementor
- Requires Elementor; works without WooCommerce.

- Shortlinks follow WordPress's own shortlink.
Complementor uses classic Elementor APIs. Atomic-native controls are not implemented. Check your theme, cache and integrations on a staging site before release.
08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot post permalink
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why does the shortlink look like the permalink?
WordPress had no shortlink for this post, so the permalink is used.
Why is nothing shown?
There is no public post here. Drafts, private and password-protected posts are left out.
Why does the address wrap in the middle of a word?
Long addresses wrap at any character so they never widen the page on phones.
How do I remove the underline?
Set Link line to None in the Style tab.
Post permalink plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Does it work on pages?
Yes. It shows the address of the current public page or post.
Are non-Latin slugs shown correctly?
Yes. They appear in their real characters while the link stays valid.
Can I show my own text instead of the address?
Yes. Choose Your own text and type it.
Does it need JavaScript?
No. The address is part of the page as it is built.
