Not working on already saved post so for me is useless.

I switched to https, so I tried to use this plugin to change images urls to relatives (in pages and posts), but it doesn’t change anything: urls remain absolutes.

<p class=””>Awesome! Thanks for this plugin!<br>I’m still asking myself how one could work without a plugin like this one? WordPress out of the box does not support staging or even switching from a subdomain-blog to a FQDN. Adding SSL support to pages afterwards would be a disaster without this plugin!</p>

<p class=””>I’ve been using >Root Relative URLs for ages but that is no longer maintained and does not work e.g. with Google’s reCaptcha. This one is a great successor and does the job very well and even better.</p>

<p class=””>As of WP v.6.4.1 (2023-11) this still works like a charm. And I still highly recommend this plugin!</p>

<p class=””>A hint to people having trouble understanding what this plugin does:<br>It will remove the base url from links when saving e.g. a page and adds it back when being loaded or viewed.</p>
<!– /wp:paragraph –>
<!– wp:paragraph –>
<p class=””>That means: <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>After you activated it, it will do nothing.</span></p>
<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<p class=””>This is a nice behavior, because the plugin doesn’t know what you want. And instead of trying to do magic that might fail, you have to update your content by yourself.</p>
<!– /wp:paragraph –>
<!– wp:paragraph –>
<p class=””>This can either be done by re-saving every page/post manually or by using your DB tool and doing a simple string replacement that removes the base url from internal links like this:</p>
<!– /wp:paragraph –>
<!– wp:paragraph –>
<p class=””>update wordpress.wp_posts set post_content = replace(post_content,'https://www.example.com','') where post_content like '%https://www.example.com%';</p>
<!– /wp:paragraph –>
<!– wp:paragraph –>
<p class=””>And in fact, you won’t see a change on your page or post and this is good. It’s just important that you get rid of the absolute URLs in the database to be able to do staging, migration etc. without any hassle.</p>

If disable plugin (or when it’s missing) – existing relative URLs are still working in both modes – editing and viewing.
So, enabling/disabling plugin can be used to test actual plugin working, if you don’t have access to DB to check what actually stored.
Thanks!
