Hi I have copied my WP site from www.domain.org (database included etc..) to my home server for further local development. New local IP is: 192.168.1.xxx/MB Every thing is working well except none of my images located on original site in /wp-content/files/xxx.jpg are showing on local server (image not found of course) I am pretty sure I can use htaccess file to solve this problem but have not succeded so far Can I use something like : Redirect 301 /wp-content/files 192.168.1.xxx/MB/wp-content/files/ This doesn't work ! Anybody any ideas ? Thanks for help Regards from France
All images are referenced in original site: src="/wp-content/files/onu-s.jpg" Original site is in root folder Local site : 192.168.1.190/MB Images are located in folder: 192.168.1.190/MB/wp-content/files/ MB is just a sub-folder I havn't succeded with suggested plugin this is why I think htaccess redirect instructions might be a better answer. Or may be I didn't use plugin the correct way ! Thanks for help
Aaahhh, so it's a relative link... interesting, as WordPress never does it like that. Is this something that you've hard coded into a template or you've modified the src URLs in the actual WordPress pages?
I don't know enough about htaccess to provide you with a solution there.
it is definitly a relative link that I have hard coded into all posts with thumbnails To improve my coding practices how do you recommand I should code these src URLs in the future. Thanks for help
I've had the same problem that I can never get images into a template with HTML. I just use a div with a background of the image, and that does work for some reason.

Will give it a try and keep you posted on how it works
Changing all URLs on local copy is to much to do as I have over 150 links to modify
Original site is in root folder
Local site : 192.168.1.190/MB
Images are located in folder: 192.168.1.190/MB/wp-content/files/
MB is just a sub-folder
