   I am using
   <a href="<?php bloginfo(‘home_url’); ?>/newpage/">newpage</a>
   in my theme

   Something is wrong. Instead of linking to
   http://www.domian.com/newpage/

   it is linking to
   http://www.domain.com/currentpage/sitetitle/newpage/

   How can this happen?

   Sorry the site is not live so I cant provide a link.

   If you don't want the home URL, why not take it away?
   This
   

   <a href="/newpage/">newpage</a>

   Should return http://www.domian.com/newpage/

   By the way, you have weird apostrophes that could cause problems in the future.

   Hi

   Thanks for your reply but what you suggest doesn't work because the 'newpage' link will be relative to the current page and many of my pages are sub-pages of parents. So a link to newpage within http://www.domain/sub-page/ would end up at http://www.domain/subpage/newpage.

   I need to use the siteurl to give me absolute links.

   or

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/home_url

   possibly (untested):

   <a href="<?php echo home_url('/newpage/'); ?>">newpage</a>
