Magento 2 – Get Base URL in Static Block

cms-blockmagento-2.1magento-2.1.2magento2static-block

I'm trying to get the base url in a static block.

I've tried the following code:

<a href="{{base url=""}}../business">

I knew this wasn't going to work because it needs <?php ?> around it.
Is there an alternative way to get the base url in a static block through the backend?

Screenshot for clarification:

You can get base url in static block like this.

<a href="{{store direct_url="business"}}">Your link</a>

Widgets are specific to Packages/Themes and do not follow Magento's Hierarchy (Fallback) system from my experience.

Make sure the widget you've created is assigned specifically to the Package & Theme your Store/Store View has assigned under System > Configuration > Design.

IF you're using a Custom Design on a Product, Category, CMS Page, or design set in System > Design you'll want to make sure you are assign your widget instance to reflect the same value. Be careful though, you cannot easily reassign the Package/Theme of a widget instance in Magento's admin.

Add CMS Static Block After Add to Cart in Magento 1.9

You should change reference name to 'product.info':

<reference name="product.info">
    <block type="cms/block" name="wetsuits" before="product.info.addtocart">
        <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>wetsuits</block_id></action>
    </block>  
</reference>

And then add to catalog/product/view.phtml file in your template this code:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('wetsuits'); ?>
