Best option to do this according to WP Codex is as follow.

Use the global variable $post:

    global $post;
    $post_slug = $post->post_name;
?>

You can retrieve it from the post object like so:

global $post;

Answer 3

use global variable $post

<?php 
    global $post;
    $post_slug=$post->post_name;
?>

Answer 4

If you want to get slug of the post from the loop then use:

global $post;
echo $post->post_name;

---

If you want to get slug of the post outside the loop then use:

$post_id = 45; //specify post id here
$post = get_post($post_id); 
$slug = $post->post_name;

Answer 5

this simple code worked for me:

$postId = get_the_ID();
$slug = basename(get_permalink($postId));
echo $slug;

Answer 6

You can get that using the following methods:

<?php $post_slug = get_post_field( 'post_name', get_post() ); ?>

Or You can use this easy code:

<?php
    global $post;
    $post_slug = $post->post_name;
?>
