I have problem with custom post type. In BO url's are ok example: page.pl/post_type_name/post_title. When I try use get_the_permalink() or the_permalink() it return url like: /?post_type=cpt_wydarzenia&p=258

Code:

    $args = array(
            "label" => __( "Wydarzenia", "vilo" ),
            'labels' => $labels,
            'hierarchical' => false,
            'supports' => array('title', 'editor'),
            //'taxonomies' => array( 'category', 'post_tag' ),
            'public' => true,
            'show_ui' => true,
            'show_in_menu' => true,
            'menu_position' => 5,
            'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
            'publicly_queryable' => true,

            'query_var' => true,
            'can_export' => true,
            'rewrite' => array(
                'slug' => 'wydarzenia',
                'with_front' => true
            ),
            'capability_type' => 'post',
            'menu_i

          con' => 'dashicons-book',
                 'supports' => array(
                 'title',
                  'thumbnail',
            'comments',
            'editor'),
    );

    register_post_type( 'cpt_wydarzenia', $args );

• Is the post 258 published? If no, then it's normal to have the "ugly" URL. – Sally CJ Commented Jul 15, 2020 at 8:27
• No it isn't. The post is planned. Is it possible, to planned post have normally url. I create incoming event based on custom post with planned public. – enc Commented Jul 15, 2020 at 8:43

get_permalink() (which is used by get_the_permalink() and the_permalink()) returns the "ugly" URL if the post is not published, e.g. draft or scheduled, but you can use the following function instead which temporarily sets the post status to publish so that we'd get the pretty URL.

function get_future_permalink( $id ) {
    if ( $post = get_post( $id ) ) {
        $post->post_status = 'publish';
        return get_permalink( $post );
    }
    return '';
}

So instead of get_permalink( 258 ), you'd use get_future_permalink( 258 ), where 258 is the post ID.
