Link is not working like this

I am new to wordpress. Can anybody help me with this.

Answer 1

Try this :

<a href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/admin.php">Admin</a>

Another way is to create template in wordpress theme folder

<?php
/*
Template Name: templatename
*/
?>

Answer 2

You have to use full path for that link, so, that would be http://site-url/slug . You can achieve that by using following code.

<li><a href="<?php echo site_url();?>/admin/admin.php"> Admin </a></li>

The site_url template tag retrieves the site url for the current site (where the WordPress core files reside) with the appropriate protocol, 'https' if is_ssl() and 'http' otherwise.

Answer 3

You need to use the full path.

In order to get url of the home page,

use this.

<a href="<?php bloginfo('site_url'); ?>/admin">Admin</a>

to get file use this.

<a href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/admin/admin.php">Admin</a>
