# Dynamic permalink?

 * Not really sure what terminology to use for this, but basically I have a user’s
   avatar linking to their member profile when clicked. The a href I’m using to 
   enable this is
 * `<a href="http://example.com/users/user">` added to the php that is displaying
   the avatar.
 * It works, but I’d like it to show /users/uniqueusername as the permalink instead
   of literally “users/user” in the bottom of the page when hovered/clicked.
 * What can I substitute “/user” with so that instead of literally showing “/user”
   it will show the user’s displayname (ie if I’m logged in and hovering over my
   avatar the permalink will show [http://example.com/users/kosmicbird](http://example.com/users/kosmicbird))

 * Solved. I needed to use the correct php function.
 * In my case, since I am using Ultimate Member to generate my members’ profiles,
   I needed to use something like
 *     ```
        $user_profile_link = um_user_profile_url();
       $header .= '<div><strong><a href="' . $user_profile_link . '">' 
       ```
   
 * etc.
