Displaying links in single event template

[Lukas Feddern]

Hi Stephen,

I am using the following code to display an “application link” to an event but it just outputs text.

  <?php   
if ( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'eo_application_link', true ) ) {
     printf( '
Application Link: %s
',  esc_html( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'eo_application_link', true ) )); 
} 
?>

How do I make it output the text stored in the meta key as a link instead?

Thanks, Lukas

Try:

<?php   
if ( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'eo_application_link', true ) ) {
     printf( 
         'Application Link: <a href="%1$s">%1$s</a>',  
         esc_url( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'eo_application_link', true ) )
     ); 
} 
?>
