hyperlink on php

5 Views

I’m working on a WordPress template and need to add a hyperlink to the cartoon bubble at the top of the page. The bubble, as far as I can tell, is php. Where do I insert the href? 

<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>

The href should point to www.ojaivalleynews.com

The blog url is www.ovnblog.com if you want a visual on the bubble. I’ve used firebug to ispect, but alas I don’t know enough about php to make sense of it.

Update

I missed the second line of code regarding the above question, and based off of the suggestions here, have made corrections to this line and it works. 

<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<div id="bubble"><p><a href="http://www.ojaivalleynews.com/" target="_blank"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></p></div>

  2. rashneon, look for the following HTML (search header.php for ‘bubble’)

    <div id="bubble">
  <p>Click for OVN Homepage!</p>
</div>

    replace that with

    <div id="bubble">
  <p><a href="http://www.ojaivalleynews.com/">Click for OVN Homepage!</a></p>
</div>

    @Endlessdeath – no, delightfully WordPress mixes a bunch of functions which print with a bunch of functions which return values. So yes, it really is supposed to be <?php bloginfo('url'); ?> – see the default theme file

  5. In WordPress, bloginfo(‘url’) gives you the url to your blog’s home. “bloginfo” is the same as “echo get_bloginfo”.

    If your blog’s main page is http://www.ojaivalleynews.com, that’s what it’ll output. Else, if http://www.ojaivalleynews.com has nothing to do with your blog, just replace with the static url like others recommended.

    If you’re a new to WordPress and you’re going to use it a lot, see http://codex.wordpress.org/

    ** UPDATE **

    Updating your update, bloginfo(‘description’) gives you your blog’s description/headline (generally under your blog’s title). If your blog is http://www.ojaivalleynews.com, you’re outputing the url dinamically in the first link and staticly in the second. If not, you’re giving your blog’s description as text on the link to http://www.ojaivalleynews.com.
