The Blog_info, very important function in wordpress

One of the most important function in WordPress is the blog_info function:

<?php bloginfo( $show ); ?>

You can find all the information you need about the website

Their parameters are:

Parameters

$show
(string) (Optional) Keyword naming the information you want.

Default: name
  • name’ – Displays the “Site Title” set in Settings > General. This data is retrieved from the “blogname” record in the wp_options table.
  • description’ – Displays the “Tagline” set in Settings > General. This data is retrieved from the “blogdescription” record in thewp_options table.
  • wpurl’ – Displays the “WordPress address (URL)” set in Settings > General. This data is retrieved from the “siteurl” record in the wp_options table. Consider echoing site_url() instead, especially for multi-site configurations using paths instead of subdomains (it will return the root site not the current sub-site).
  • url’ – Displays the “Site address (URL)” set in Settings > General. This data is retrieved from the “home” record in thewp_options table. Consider echoing home_url() instead.
  • admin_email’ – Displays the “E-mail address” set in Settings > General. This data is retrieved from the “admin_email” record in the wp_options table.
  • charset’ – Displays the “Encoding for pages and feeds” set in Settings > Reading. This data is retrieved from the “blog_charset” record in the wp_options table. Note: In Version 3.5.0 and later, character encoding is no longer configurable from the Administration Panel. Therefore, this parameter always echoes “UTF-8”, which is the default encoding of WordPress.
  • version’ – Displays the WordPress Version you use. This data is retrieved from the $wp_version variable set in wp-includes/version.php.
  • html_type’ – Displays the Content-Type of WordPress HTML pages (default: “text/html”). This data is retrieved from the “html_type” record in the wp_options table. Themes and plugins can override the default value using thepre_option_html_type filter.
  • text_direction’ – Displays the Text Direction of WordPress HTML pages. Consider using is_rtl() instead.
  • language’ – Displays the language of WordPress.
  • stylesheet_url’ – Displays the primary CSS (usually style.css) file URL of the active theme. Consider echoingget_stylesheet_uri() instead.
  • stylesheet_directory’ – Displays the stylesheet directory URL of the active theme. (Was a local path in earlier WordPress versions.) Consider echoing get_stylesheet_directory_uri() instead.
  • template_url’ / ‘template_directory’ – URL of the active theme’s directory (‘template_directory’ was a local path before 2.6; seeget_theme_root() and get_template() for hackish alternatives.) Within child themes, both get_bloginfo(‘template_url’) and get_template() will return the parent theme directory. Consider echoing get_template_directory_uri() instead (for the parent template directory) or get_stylesheet_directory_uri() (for the child template directory).
  • pingback_url’ – Displays the Pingback XML-RPC file URL (xmlrpc.php).
  • atom_url’ – Displays the Atom feed URL (/feed/atom).
  • rdf_url’ – Displays the RDF/RSS 1.0 feed URL (/feed/rfd).
  • rss_url’ – Displays the RSS 0.92 feed URL (/feed/rss).
  • rss2_url’ – Displays the RSS 2.0 feed URL (/feed).
  • comments_atom_url’ – Displays the comments Atom feed URL (/comments/feed).
  • comments_rss2_url’ – Displays the comments RSS 2.0 feed URL (/comments/feed).
  • siteurl’ – Deprecated since version 2.2. Echo home_url(), or use bloginfo(‘url’).
  • home’ – Deprecated since version 2.2. Echo home_url(), or use bloginfo(‘url’).
