Display URL of a child site blog to visitors

  • I am trying to display a “Visit My Blog” link on my BP profile page and the code below works when a user is logged in, but when a user is not logged in the “Visit My Blog” takes them to the main blog (domain.com), not the users blog (domain.com/user).

    <a href="<?php echo home_url() . '/' . get_the_author_meta( 'user_login', wp_get_current_user()->ID ); ?>" >Visit My Blog</a>

    If I take out the ‘user_login’ part it takes them straight to the main blog also. Any ideas on how to get the correct link to display to visitors?

    Actually this code just displays the URL for whoever is logged in.

    So on user1’s blog it shows user1’s blog, but if I navigate to user2’s blog, the URL is still to user1’s blog, not user2’s.

    home_url() is relative to where you are. You’d have to do a different check to see what blog is ‘theirs’ and parse that. I’m blanking on what it is, but someone else did that…
