Yeah, search and replace is what I have done in the past. I would like to keep up to date copies on both my testing server and live server. Ideally, they would be two identical code bases in two different locations.

I guess I can consider this resolved, but I will post a solution if I can develop one. To be honest, I think I have used a similar statement for another project.

Do not use relative urls in a WordPress install. Stick to full, absolute, urls.

That would explain my trouble finding a solution. After researching the logic behind using absolute URLs, I understand and completely agree.

For a follow up question, is there a bit of PHP such as an “if” statement that could swap strings depending on the location of the files?

i.e. https://localhost/problemsite vs. https://problemsite.domainname.com

Please disregard or delete.
