Is there any function available to echo current user’s profile url?

1 Views

As of now i’m using this code to echo user’s profile url. 

<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>user/<?php echo $current_user->user_login ?>"><?php echo $current_user->user_login ?></a>

This link uses author base as “user”. So when i change author base this link will be broken.

  1. Choosing the right template

    As your “User Profile”-Page is something completely custom and not the admin UI user profile page, I’d suggest to take the uthor posts page instead:

    get_author_link( true, get_current_user_id() );

    Then modify this template.

    Pretty URls

    No need to go outside the WP template hierarchy. If you want something like ~/user, then use the Rewrite API.

    ( Update )

    get_author_link() This function has been deprecated. Use get_author_posts_url() instead.

    Example 

    get_author_posts_url( get_current_user_id() );

  2. From Kaiser answer, get_author_link function is deprecated

    get_author_link is deprecated since version 2.1! Use get_author_posts_url() instead

    So please try to use get_author_posts_url()
