Overview

Relative URL applies the wp_make_link_relative function to links (posts, categories, pages, etc.) to convert them to relative URLs. Useful for developers when debugging local WordPress instance on a mobile device (iPad, iPhone, etc.).

Notice: This plugin SHOULD be used for local development only. I haven’t tested on a production environment; it may work with some issues, like unwanted URLs in RSS feed or sharing URLs are replaced with relative URLs, etc.

More information please visit my site.

For example:

http://localhost:8080/wp/

Will be converted to:

/wp/

And..

http://localhost:8080/wp/2012/09/01/hello-world/

Will be converted to:

/wp/2012/09/01/hello-world/

And..

http://localhost:8080/wp/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/style.css

Will be converted to:

/wp/wp-content/themes/twe…

Does not work with WordPress 5.9.1
by ams047·4 years ago

Unfortunately you cannot create posts or pages when version 0.1.8 of this plugin is active with WordPress 5.9.1

Completely useless
by tsf999·4 years ago

Not doing anything with WP 5.8. And sadly, this is the 3rd and the last available plugin I tried with no luck.

Very good extension :-)

This makes life easier for local development.
I use it with ngrok to show my projects to my clients 🙂
That works well!
Do not forget to deactivate it when you put your website on the final server online 🙂
