Relative Link for Event Website

[Joyce Spragins]

How would I go about inserting a relative path for the URL to an event web site?

I’m working on a staging web site which will be moved over to a different domain and I don’t want all of my event links to break.

I tried using ../ in the URL but it didn’t work.

thanks

Hi, Joyce.

If you’re creating custom links in a WordPress Menu, you could just do:

• /events/
• /events/map/
• etc.

However, it’s likely better not to worry about this and instead do a search and replace in the database before importing to your new domain. For example, replace site.dev with site.com throughout your database, then import to site.com

Of course, we always recommend restorable database and file backups before modifying anything on your site.

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions on this topic.
