A Link for "My Site" (logged in user)

There’s a link to a user’s sites in the admin bar. Did you turn it off?

Yes. If possible I’d prefer to do without the admin bar. Can this (the “My Site” link) be done ?

Have a look at the code in wp-admin/my-sites.php

Thanks, Andrea.

Tried lots of variations from that source. Eventually thought <a href="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>"><?php $user_blog->blogname; ?></a> would work but no luck.

Not a coder. Just a mediocre Cut & Paster.

I’ve come up with this convoluted piece :

<a href="<?php
echo home_url( '/' );?>"
<?php
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$user_id =  $current_user->ID ;
$user_blogs = get_blogs_of_user( $user_id );
foreach ($user_blogs AS $user_blog) {$user_blog->blogname;}
echo home_url( '/' );echo $user_blog->blogname;
?>

While this returns https://your domain.com/logged_in_user_site_name

There are some problems.

1. Surely there is a neater way ?

2.The logged_in_user_site_name that is returned is capitalized. (If the site name is Techwizard, it returns Techwizard but the link is actually in lower case https://your domain.com/ techwizard/) so the returned blogname would have be be uncapitalized. Help!

3) It would have be conditional on a user being logged in, as otherwise it will return an error. Help!

4) I don’t know how to put the tag “My Site” on the above convolution. Help!

BTW I tried omitting the first and the second `echo home_url( ‘/’ );?’ but it didn’t appear to work without both.

Any better ideas or improvements on the above would really be appreciated

I code like I speak French, and that joke goes over like gangbusters in Montreal. has ’em rolling in the aisles.

(In other words, me too.)

3 – is_user_logged_in

Actually, with all this work (no I can’t think of a neater way) why *not* use the admin bar? It’s built in!

Thanks. that part finis!
2 to go

Almost. Could this be left open for awhile. Somebody might come with something to just get the tag in – rather than have the tag and the whole url.

<a href="<?php
echo home_url( '/' );?>"
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();
     $user_id =  $current_user->ID ;
$user_blogs = get_blogs_of_user( $user_id );
foreach ($user_blogs AS $user_blog) {$user_blog->blogname;}
echo "<h6>Your Site</h6>";
echo home_url( '/' );echo strtolower($user_blog->blogname);
}
?>
</a>

To complete this Code below appears to work.

<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();
     $user_id =  $current_user->ID ;
$user_blogs = get_blogs_of_user( $user_id );
foreach ($user_blogs AS $user_blog) {$user_blog->siteurl;}
$link = $user_blog->siteurl;
$title = "My Site";
$var  = "<a href='$link' target='_blank' title ='in new tab'>$title<a/>";
echo "<h3>$var</h3>";
}
?>

target blank not necessary

Slight correction to the above. The inclusion of “break;” ensures the link is to the users primary blog.

<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();
     $user_id =  $current_user->ID ;
$user_blogs = get_blogs_of_user( $user_id );
foreach ($user_blogs AS $user_blog) {
$user_blog->siteurl;
break;
}
$link = $user_blog->siteurl;
$title = "My Blog";
$var  = "<a href='$link' target='_blank' style='color: blue;' title ='in new tab'>$title<a/>";
echo "<h3>$var</h3>";
}
?>
