# Changing relative URL paths

 * I have a site that is being developed on [http://mysite.com/dev](http://mysite.com/dev)
 * If I use root relative paths like /page1 the the link takes me to [http://mysite.com](http://mysite.com)
   and not to [http://mysite.com/dev/page1](http://mysite.com/dev/page1).
 * Is there a way I can fix this while I am developing?

 * you can try defining your url and paths within you config file..
 *     ```
       define('WP_HOME','http://example.com/dev');
       define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com/dev');
       ```
