home_url() returns url without slash in the end

home_url is a WordPress funktion. You can use trailingslashit to solve your problem.

@codestylist it’s not the solution. I know that it’s WP function, but:

1) Default WordPress HAS NO translated static homepage and the plugin should add some hooks or filters to make home_url function return correct homepage url on certain languages – so it’s plugin question.

2) If you read my first message more carefully you’ll see that the default website url is https://example.com, and if I use trailingslashit I’ll get https://example.com/ – and there will be redirect that I want to avoid.

Hello,

home_url() returns without slash as expected. If you want a slash, use home_url( '/' ).

@chouby yeah, I know, but the thing is:
1) default site url without / – so it shouldn’t be in the link
2) other languages static home page has url like /cz/ but the link returned without /.

I mean there is a redirect from https://example.com/cz to https://example.com/cz/ and it’s right, but the function seems should return url also with / as a canonical url of the homepage to prevent redirects, no?

Of course I can use this:
<a href="<?php echo home_url(); ?><?php if ($language != "main_lang_code") { ?>/<?php } ?>">home</a>

but it seems a little bit… shittycode ??

@chouby hi!
Any ideas?

Did you test home_url( '/' ) ?

@chouby did you read my message?
home_url('/') adds slash for any page – I don’t need it on the home page with default language.

The main thing is that homepage got url without / and translated homepage got url WITH / on the end, but home_url() always return or with / or without it.

Example:
example.com – it’s homepage url, home_url() returns this address
example.com/ch/ – it’s Chinese language homepage page url and home_url returns example.com/ch – why?

If I use home_url(‘/’), than i’ll get example.com/ instead of example.com for the main language page.
