    I find that if I set the Image URL to “/wp/images/hello.gif”, it works out. The visual would substitute “https://www.mydomain.com/wp/images/hello.gif”.

    However, this code is not very portable, if I change the domain or the wordpress installation path, then every page has to be edited.

    This has got to be a bug or feature setting or something, right?
    Not allowing relative URLs really sucks!

    I wouldn’t say that it sucks until I understood why WP2.5 insists on using absolute urls. And I don’t.

    I would say that like you, I prefer relative links over absolute, and that something that changes my typed input (i.e. the relative link text) to what it thinks is better (i.e. the absolute version) is not well-behaved.

    I’m sure a large percent of WP users prefer relative links and they will eventually see this “problem” (feature??!) Maybe then the editor will be changed.

    At least I hope so.
