get_home_url() just returns current URL

Question

My problem is simple, I need a "home" link for my WP template, and the function get_home_url() is simply returning the current url. So if I'm on "example.com/?cat=2", that's the url I get for my home button .

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I'm pulling my hair out.

Answer 1

It's just home_url(). So:

echo home_url();

Will output the homepage of your Wordpress installation.

Answer 2

Have you tried:

echo get_bloginfo('url')
