title: Turn text into hyperlink on the frontend
body: <p>Right now author's profile link is being outputted as a text on the frontend, but I want it to be outputted as hyperlink. So only text is being outputted: example.com/author/username. I need to turn this into hyperlink - to display a username associated with a user_link and to be clickable(to actually take you associated example.com/author/username.</p>
  
  <p>I'm outputting this author profile information through shortcode on the frontend.</p>
  
  <p>In my shortcode.php file it's defined like this at moment(Author's profile link is being pulled from a saved order.):</p>
  
  <pre><code>$output .= '&lt;td&gt;' . $order-&gt;user_link . '&lt;/td&gt;';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>user_link</code> is outputting just a text format: example.com/author/username on the frontend. I need a hyperlink and I don't know how to create a hyperlink for this.</p>
