Using Relative URLs

Using Reletive URLs in your WordPress Blog Posts has a few advantages, not to mention it’s just a good practice. Relative URLs will make your posts smaller, decreasing page load times, and will greatly reduce the headache of moving a site to a new domain. Our WordPress Specialist at Markit Media want to share a quick and easy way to automatically make all of your WordPress site URLs relative. Open your functions.php located in your theme directory and paste in the following code:

<?php

    $link_filters 
= array(

        
'post_link',       // Normal post link

        
'post_type_link',  // Custom post type link

        
'page_link',       // Page link

        
'attachment_link'// Attachment link

        
'get_shortlink',   // Shortlink

        
'post_type_archive_link',    // Post type archive link

        
'get_pagenum_link',          // Paginated link

        
'get_comments_pagenum_link'// Paginated comment link

        
'term_link',   // Term link, including category, tag

        
'search_link'// Search link

        
'day_link',   // Date archive link

        
'month_link'// Month archive link

        
'year_link'// Year archive link

    
);

    foreach ( 
$link_filters as $link_filter ) {

        
add_filter$link_filter'wp_make_link_relative' );

    }

?>
