Goal: convert all the javascript file references to relative<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The main problem appeared when I tried to check my blog from a virtual machine.
\nIn the machine my local blog address started with an IP like this http:\/\/192.168.0.100\/…
\nand the absolute links were like this: http:\/\/localhost\/… – crash<\/p>\n

To solve this problem I need a simple function to cut the starting from every absolute locations to convert them to relative ones.<\/p>\n

\r\nfunction wp_make_link_relative_ex( $link ) {\r\n  return str_replace ( 'http:\/\/localhost\/blablabla\/', '', $link );\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
May be on the production the replacement will be different!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I’ve put this function into file wp_includes\/formatting.php<\/strong> around existing function wp_make_link_relative<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
1. Correct the header javascript fetching function<\/strong><\/p>\n
in the wp_includes\/class.wp-scripts.php<\/strong> file – find the following code:<\/p>\n
$src variable contains the absolute path of the javascript file<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\r\n...\r\n  if ( $this->do_concat )\r\n    $this->print_html .= "<script type='text\/javascript' src='$src'><\/script>\\n";\r\n  else\r\n    echo "<script type='text\/javascript' src='$src'><\/script>\\n";\r\n...\r\n<\/pre>\n
and insert before this<\/p>\n
\r\n  $src = wp_make_link_relative_ex($src);\r\n<\/pre>\n
This is done. All paths are relative now (only in the header section and only the js files)<\/p>\n
So my blog working in the virtual machine now.<\/p>\n
2. Update the hosts file in the virtual machine<\/strong><\/p>\n
This is the global solution:
\n…windows\/system32\/drivers\/etc\/hosts<\/strong> file, here is the magic.
\nOverride the default localhost 127.0.0.1 to the host ip and that is all.
\nPut a line to the end of the file (change the ip to your host ip ofcourse):<\/p>\n
\r\n...\r\n192.168.1.255    localhost\r\n<\/pre>\n
To save the file just check this post: hosts \u2013 how can I save this<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
