About this plugin

A WordPress plugin that converts all URL formats to root-relative URLs to enable seamless transitioning between staging/production host environments and debugging/testing from mobile devices, without the use of hackish tactics like textual find-replace strategies or risky hosts/NAT spoofing strategies.

1/ or from a named network resource like http://mycomputername/ without worrying about links redirecting you back to your site’s URL.

It supports path-based MU Installations, but does not support domain-based MU sites due to architectural deficiencies in the WordPress core.
