I’m working on a WordPress theme and have an instance where in the top-left of the page, the site name is displayed and links back to the home page. I have that code as:<\/p>\n

<a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '\/' ) ); ?>"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?><\/a><\/code><\/p>\n

Yet that’s outputting as a relative link, not an absolute one. I’ve even tried specifying the $scheme as http and that doesn’t seem to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-5619036","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-absolute","topic-tag-links","topic-tag-menu"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/5619036","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/5619036\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5619036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
