Django: How to get the root path of a site in template?

You should be able to access the get_host() method of the request:

<a href="http://{{ request.get_host() }}">Go back home</a>

Though you could probably also do:

<a href="/">Go back home</a>

I found a trick, Use this tag:

{{ HTTP_HOST }}

you could do:

<a href="{{ HTTP_HOST }}"> back home <a>

<a href="{{ HTTP_HOST }}/what_you_want"> back home <a>

I think the proper way here is use the {% url %} tag and I'm assuming that you have a root url in your url conf.

urls.py

url(r'^mah_root/$', 'someapp.views.mah_view', name='mah_view'),

Then in your template:

<a href="{% url mah_view %}">Go back home</a>
