Our analysis
AI-assistedRelative URL is a WordPress plugin that converts absolute URLs to relative URLs for links in posts, categories, and pages. It is particularly useful for developers working on local WordPress instances, allowing easier access from mobile devices without encountering navigation issues.
This plugin is intended for local development only and may cause problems in production environments, such as unwanted URLs in RSS feeds. It simplifies the process of testing and debugging by enabling relative URL access on mobile devices.
Best for: Developers working on local WordPress sites who need to test on mobile devices.
What it does well
- ✓Converts absolute URLs to relative URLs
- ✓Facilitates local development on mobile devices
- ✓Helps avoid navigation issues during testing
Where it falls short
- •Not suitable for production environments
- •May introduce unwanted URLs in RSS feeds
Verdict
Relative URL is a practical tool for local development, but its use should be limited to non-production scenarios due to potential issues.
From the developer
Sparanoid's own description of Relative URL, lightly tidied.
Relative URL applies the wp_make_link_relative function to links (posts, categories, pages, etc.) to convert them to relative URLs. Useful for developers when debugging local WordPress instance on a mobile device (iPad, iPhone, etc.).
Notice: This plugin SHOULD be used for local development only. I haven’t tested on a production environment; it may work with some issues, like unwanted URLs in RSS feed or sharing URLs are replaced with relative URLs, etc.

For example:
http://localhost:8080/wp/
Will be converted to:
/wp/
And..
http://localhost:8080/wp/2012/09/01/hello-world/
Will be converted to:
/wp/2012/09/01/hello-world/
And..
http://localhost:8080/wp/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/style.css
Will be converted to:
/wp/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/style.css
Then after activating this plugin, you can simply access your local instance using http://10.0.1.5:8888/wp/ on your iPad or other mobile devices without having styles and navigation issue.
