Overview
The Relative URL plugin for WordPress meticulously converts absolute URLs to relative URLs across various components such as posts, categories, pages, and more. This conversion is particularly beneficial for developers who are debugging local WordPress instances on mobile devices, seamlessly maintaining styling and navigation. Designed strictly for local development environments, the plugin ensures that URLs like "http://localhost:8080/wp/2012/09/01/hello-world/" are converted to "/wp/2012/09/01/hello-world/" for easier access on devices such as iPads or iPhones. However, it is advised against using this plugin in production environments as it may lead to issues like undesired URLs in RSS feeds or replacement of sharing URLs with relative URLs.

Unfortunately you cannot create posts or pages when version 0.1.8 of this plugin is active with WordPress 5.9.1

Not doing anything with WP 5.8. And sadly, this is the 3rd and the last available plugin I tried with no luck.

This makes life easier for local development.
I use it with ngrok to show my projects to my clients 🙂
That works well!
Do not forget to deactivate it when you put your website on the final server online 🙂

Using WP 5.0 and Divi Theme, this works great, allowing me to deliver site via AWS CloudFront
