WordPress Paths

It just the way the whole permalink (and possibly theme) system is built. There was some talk of completely rewriting the relevant part of core, so that might happen in the future but it will be a huge job, so don’t hold your breath. Keep on using absolute urls for the foreseeable future.

Ok cool, so if i have a site set up at demo.myserver.com and then i update the dns to point to the https://www.domainname.com when it is ready to be launched… should there be any problem… as i won’t be moving anything but the url of the site will change from demo.myserver.com to https://www.domainname.com

should there be any problem

See Changing_The_Site_URL.

Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean

See the page I linked to above for details of how to change the site urls correctly.

Sorry, the link did not show up on my phone, thanks for your help…
