[wp-testers] Absolute URLs hard-coded on database

[ProDevStudio]

Hi All,

Things are done for a reason, but we have a problem at the moment, one that
I also think should be simplified is when going from dev -> test -> live
cycle.

I believe because of  WYSIWYG Editor need to display the images it needs to
have the absolute URL. one suggestion that I can think of would be to use
HTML <base> TAG that point to install URL and then all the links inside the
WYSIWYG Editor on the page can be relative to the <base> and images should
show as normal.

I wonder if the wordpress export and import resolve this issue.?? -- worth a
try!!
