About Relative URL for Img and A Tags

From the official readme · v1.0.3

Description

This plugin will remove the root of the domain from links and image sources. This means that it will leave the relative URL on your image and links. This is useful if you are installing your wordpress website on a subfolder which you will move on the main domain.

You can move your site to a different subdomain, subfolder, parent folder, etc., without having to edit image sources and link URLs.

So, http://webdev-tuts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/svggraph-pie-graph.jpg would become /wp-content/uploads/2016/05/svggraph-pie-graph.jpg
