Outputting siteUrl consumes next closing tag

Question

I'm running Craft Pro 2.3.2640.

Here is the code:

<span>{{ siteUrl }}</span>

Here is the output:

//localhost:3001/%3C/span%3E

The opening tag stays intact.

I am also struggling to use this variable with functions like "replace" when I need to parse the referral url.

Answer 1

Try to set the siteUrl in config/general.php like so.

return array(
    '*' => array(
    ),
    'localhost' => array(
        'siteUrl' => 'http://localhost:3001/',
    ),
);

And then apply your replace filter.

<span>{{ siteUrl|replace({'localhost:3001': 'mysite.com'}) }}</span>
