 * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebar-login-question/)
 * I have installed the Sidebar Login plugin and what to add to the side a link 
   to the users website that the put in their profile. The only thing I can think
   of in the <?php comment_author_link() ?> to call up there website.
 * But here is the part where I get lost. The field in only html friendly so how
   to I do about adding there website link to the template or do you have another
   suggestion.
 * Thanks,
    Adam
