Do you want to create a text field with option to copy and paste text? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to shortlink trick and display a functionable text field in WordPress.
Instructions:
All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s single.php file:
<?php if (function_exists('wp_get_shortlink')) { ?>
<div><span class="post-shortlink">Shortlink:
<input type='text' value='<?php echo wp_get_shortlink(get_the_ID()); ?>' onclick='this.focus(); this.select();' />
</span></div>
<?php } ?>
