    Hi Matthew,

    This is the first time I’ve heard of this plugin and we’ve worked with customers hosted on Rackspace before. Can you provide a URL for your sitemap so we can take a look.

    Hi. Thanks for getting back.

    I actually uninstalled the Root Relative URLs plugin shortly after I posted that question. It’s useful for moving the WP installation from DEV to Production, but it’s not a plugin I like very much. It’s way too invasive, as the plugin actually writes to your wp-config.php file and doesn’t clean up after itself if you just hit “uninstall.” That took a bit of sleuthing. I had to go in and also delete the code it wrote into that file.

    Basically the links in my sitemap looked like this with the plugin installed:

    /path/to/page
/path/to/other-page

    instead of:

    https://domain.com/path/to/page
https://domain.com/path/to/other-page

    Let me know if you want/need me to reinstall this plugin somewhere for you or if this is enough info…

    Hi Matthew,

    It sounds like that plugin messes with the paths so I’d recommend not using it. You’ll probably have to go through the database now and cleanup whatever mess has been left by that plugin. I’m sorry I cannot help you with that although I strongly recommend you use BackupBuddy as this will make site migrations a heck of a lot easier and it has a tool for replacing URLs in you database.
