wrong images url after distantlocal

  • Hello

    If I get (with backup) the site in localhost and adjust the 2 url for localhost in general settings
    all images retain the url of the remote server ! everything is wrong ! If I delete the temporary site on remote server all the pictures are gone

    how can you set a non https:// url for medias ?

    it must be ./wp-content/upload/images.jpg and not at all https://domain.com=/wp-content/upload/images.jpg

    thank you

  • you will need to open your backup .sql file in notepad and do a search -> replace on localhost url to hosted url as image url’s get hard-coded in the db

    is it the only way to do that with wordpress ??
    there is not way to store in the database relative paths ?

    then it is a toy not a serious CMS

    thanks but I cant believe there is no other ways , no pro users will do that
