 * I want to edit the my-account in admin-bar.php, because I hided the back-end 
   from the users, but the href in my-account is :
    ‘href’ => $profile_url,
 * I want to make it link to [http://site.com/author/USERNAME](http://site.com/author/USERNAME),
   where USERNAME is the username of the logged in user.
    So , what would the href
   become ?

 * Keep in mind I have no idea what I am doing… this returns the url that you want:
 *     ```
       $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
       $current_name = $current_user->user_login;
       $url = site_url('/author/');
   
       echo $url . $current_name;
       ```
   
 * So after adding all but the last line of that to define the two partsabove the‘
   href’ I think you could then say:
 *     ```
       'href' => $url . $current_name;
       ```
   
 * or one more step (probably unnecessary)
 *     ```
       $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
       $current_name = $current_user->user_login;
       $url = site_url('/author/');
       $new_url = $url . $current_name;
   
       'href' =>$new_url;
       ```
   
 * I am sure someone else probably knows a better way but at least this should get
   you going in the right direction.
