# Multisite Site Url Question

 * This may be incredibly stupid.
 * How do I get the url of the “main” site for my Multisite Install?
 * <?php echo get_settings(‘home’); ?> Gives me the home page of the current blog,
   not the core blog as does <?php echo site_url() ?> and everything else I’ve tried
 * I’m sure this is simple, but I can’t find the information anywhere!
 * Thanks
    Frank

 * It should be `get_current_site()` but I often get that and `get_bloginfo()` crossed…

 * I believe get_current_site gets the current site you are browsing, so in a multisite
   install, that wouldn’t be the core site.
 * I’m looking for the code for getting the core site itself.
 * Any other ideas?

 * No, I know, there’s just some insane weird naming convention for it that never
   makes logical sense for me, y’know? 🙂
 * I mean, you could do [get_blog_option()](http://codex.wordpress.org/WPMU_Functions/get_blog_option)
   and then specify the site but that’s silly.

 * AH! Thank you [@wpmuguru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmuguru/)!
 * `network_home_url()`
 * Which is only mentioned here: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Determining_Plugin_and_Content_Directories](http://codex.wordpress.org/Determining_Plugin_and_Content_Directories)

 * Actually, it should be. close enough, anyway. In the code site refers to the 
   network, blog refers to what the admin area calls sites. (just for code clarification)
 * the function mentioned above is what you’re looking for tho.

 * I’ve just used:
 * `<?php echo get_home_url('1','/'); ?>`
 * To get the main site [ID 1] – hope this helps!
