[wp-hackers] Isn't it a problem for WP that it is so strictly attached to a specific domain?

[Daniel Fenn]

Something else to add, some plugins such as wp-united stores the path
to the files on the file system )say /home/danielx6/www/forums/) in
the database (Such as where the config.php from phpbb is on the
server).

Daniel Fenn
