Links not going to the correct page

Question

All, I have the following code:

echo '<a href="register">Please try again</a>';

I'm using Wordpress and the register is a page that I created and based on how I created my permalinks this is a legit page. My issue is that this doesn't work correctly.

If I'm on the following URL:

http://localhost/wordpress/help-register

Then I click on that link my new URL will be: http://localhost/wordpress/help-register/register

However I want it to be: http://localhost/wordpress/register

Answer 1

Try this instead:

echo '<a href="' . get_site_url() . '/register">Please try again</a>';
