 * I am trying to get rid of absolute paths and found your plugin.
    Unfortunately
   there are some issues.
 * When inserting image from media assets, url is stripped. But on frontend, there
   is error message shown.
    Warning: strpos(): Empty needle in /wp-includes/media.
   php on line 1147
 * Also there seems to be a side effect in administration. When assigning a media
   iamge and revisting media browser, there are empty and faulty additional medias
   shown.

 * It seems that this phenomenon only occurs when there is EXIF/META information
   present in image data.

 * Hi [@telsidor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/telsidor/)
 * Can you provide some screenshots of the issues you are facing on?
 * Plugin doesn’t create any media. It just makes the Paths Relative according to
   the provided settings. So, if you are getting any additional media then this 
   plugin doesn’t be the cause of it.
 * Thanks,
    Sami

 * As per not getting any response from more than a month ago. I am marking this
   thread as resolved.

   the issue then please provide me your feedback over the latest version of the
   plugin.
