Post headers on homepage - Link to pages instead?

Hi Is it possibel to change this piece of code in the index.php to point to relevant page slugs instead of post slugs?

Code:

                <h2><?php 

                if( !is_single() AND !is_page() ) { ?>

                         <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php

                        if (function_exists('the_title_attribute')) { 

                                the_title_attribute();

                        } 

                        elseif (function_exists('the_title')) { 

                                the_title();

                        } ?>"><?php 

                } the_title(); 

                if( !is_single() AND !is_page() ) { ?>

                        </a><?php 

                } ?>

                </h2>

Thanks in advance for your help.

What do you mean with "point to". Provide more details, please

Hi Flynn.

What I meant is that the piece of code above turns the post header into a link to the post's perm. link.
How can I change this to instead build a url for a different page instead of the post's perm. address?

eg: Lets say the post has a slug of: "target-1" and I give a page that I create the same slug of: "target-1" can this code be changed somehow to point to the PAGE slug instead of the POST slug?

I hope this makes sense. I'm still learning WP and not familiar with all the terms etc.

In that code, replace

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php the_permalink() ?>

with

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php echo get_option('home') . '/' . $post->post_name . '/'; ?>

This would will create http://your-wordpress-base-url.com/post-slug/

Woohoo!!! Absolutely awesome Flynn...

Thanks.

I now have list of posts that link to static pages as long as I give them the same slugs and ammend the default slug directory.

Brilliant!!!
