How to change absolute to relative paths after I have built my site in absolute

    Hi All,

    I built my site on WAMP server. I have uploaded it to my site in the following location:

    http://www.mydomainname.com/wordpress

    Some of the links between pages don’t work because I made the whole site with absolute paths instead of relative.

    When the site goes live I will need to change the URL to this:

    http://www.mydomainname.com/new_directory

    So while I am still building it I need to be able to change the site page links throughout to

    /new_directory

    What should I do? How do I build the site with relative links instead of absolute? How do I change the links I have already created that are absolute?

    I am not good with coding PHP so if there is a way to avoid doing this then that would be great.

    Thanks,
    Jack
