I’d like to put a link on an about us page which will be linked to a meet the team page, then replicated across many sites. So I’d like the link to be something like {site_url}/meet-the-team to avoid having to go in and manually change the link every time. The page will always be called meet-the-team but the site url will of course change. I’m cloning a base site then fleshing out those kinds of details. I thought perhaps I could simplify it if it could be dynamic.
Appreciate the help in advance.

Hi there,
You don’t need to site URL in the link, simply set the link to
/meet-the-teamshould link to the right page no matter what the site link is. -
I see a few ideas but I suspect there is an easier way 🙂
1. Use this plugin after the fact but then again that creates steps.
2. There is a suggestion here
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/179559/relative-or-dynamic-site-url-possible
usually just avoid the issue entirely every time I create a new wordpress site:define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘/’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘/’);
will cause wordpress to use root-relative urls for everything. Makes site migrations to other domains far easier.Is there an easier way to do it? Not that #2 is hard but is there just a native way to say <site_url>/pagename.html?

Thank you, I didn’t think that would work without something like this:
define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘/’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘/’);
will cause wordpress to use root-relative urls for everything. Makes site migrations to other domains far easier. -

I’m confused. The URL will become
your-site-domain/meet-the-team, isn’t this what you want? -
Yes, that’s what I want 🙂 My question was…I thought I would need to add that to the config file for what you suggested to work. But it seems to work fine without it. You are saying I can just make any link be /page-name like meet-the-team without using the site url in the link? That sure is easy! I thought I’d need to add something to make that work.

Yes, you only need to use the page slug as the link on any site, it will add the site’s domain in front of the page slug automatically.

Thanks, Ying 🙂
