WordPress Paths

    Hi, does anyone know why wordpress doesn’t just use relative paths instead of the full paths

    full path = http://www.mydomain.com/this-is-a-wordpress-page/

    relative path = /this-is-a-wordpress-page/

    This would then eliminate any problems when moving a wordpress site from one domain name to another etc…

    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.
