I need the post slug…

There is a function (get_post) that let us pick any part out of it, so we can end up with this code within the loop.

<?php // Get the Slug to use as the link
  $extrapostdata = get_post(the_ID(), ARRAY_A);
  $slug = $extrapostdata['post_name'];
 ?>
<h2><a href="/<?php echo($slug); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

Another Codes: Here is a function that gives you the actual slug

function the_slug() {
	$post_data = get_post($post->ID, ARRAY_A);
	$slug = $post_data['post_name'];
	return $slug;
}

Put the above code in your templates function.php, then you can use:

<?php echo the_slug(); ?>

in your template to get the slug.
