AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Relative URL is a well-rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Admin category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 26 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Relative URL works
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.
More information please visit my site.
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.
