# Link paths difference between DEV and PROD

 * This what I’m trying to do and I’ve gone around and around for days.
 * I have a development site on my local machine so I can test plugins, graphics,
   formatting, etc. I want to be able to upload files to my production site or cut
   and paste code in WordPress without having to change link paths but just when
   I think I have things set up correctly I find an area in which the link paths
   need to be different.
 * On the production server WordPress is installed in: [http://www.mysite.org/public_html](http://www.mysite.org/public_html)
   
   In WordPress, General Settings the WordPress address (URL) is: [http://www.mysite.org](http://www.mysite.org)
   And the Blog address (URL) is: [http://www.mysite.org](http://www.mysite.org)
   Permalinks are set to: /%category%/%postname%/ .htaccess is
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * The directory structure is as follows:
    /home/mysite/public_html /home/mysite/
   public_html/wp-admin /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content /home/mysite/public_html/
   wp-includes /home/mysite/public_html/images /home/mysite/public_html/uploads /
   home/mysite/public_html/uploads/podpress An image on a page with this url : [http://www.mysite.org/interviews/](http://www.mysite.org/interviews/)
   resolves with <img src=”/images/label1.png”/> An image on page 1 of a post with
   this url : [http://www.mysite.org](http://www.mysite.org) /interviews/nameX/ 
   resolves with <img src=”/images/name1.png”/> This same image on this post (on
   the second page using the nextpage tag) with this url : [http://www.mysite.org](http://www.mysite.org)/
   interviews/nameX/2/ resolves with <img src=”/images/name1.png”/>
 * On my local development server WordPress is installed in: C:\xampplite\htdocs\
   public_html
    In WordPress General Settings the WordPress address (URL) is [http://localhost/public_html](http://localhost/public_html)
   And the Blog address (URL) is [http://localhost/public_html](http://localhost/public_html)
   Permalinks are set to: /%category%/%postname%/ .htaccess is
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /public_html/
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /public_html/index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * The directory structure is as follows:
    C:\xampplite\htdocs\public_html C:\xampplite\
   htdocs\public_html\wp-admin C:\xampplite\htdocs\public_html\wp-content C:\xampplite\
   htdocs\public_html\wp-includes C:\xampplite\htdocs\public_html\images C:\xampplite\
   htdocs\public_html\uploads C:\xampplite\htdocs\public_html\uploads\podpress
 * An image on a page with this url : [http://localhost/public_html/interviews/](http://localhost/public_html/interviews/)
   
   resolves with <src=”../images/label1.png”/> An image on a post with this url :
   [http://localhost/public_html/interviews/nameX/](http://localhost/public_html/interviews/nameX/)
   resolves with <src=”../../images/name1.png/> This same image on this post (on
   the second page using the nextpage tag) with this url : [http://localhost/public_html/interviews/nameX/2/](http://localhost/public_html/interviews/nameX/2/)
   Does **not** resolve with <src=”../../images/name1.png/>
 * Why the differences? What can I do so they resolve using the same paths?
 * Thanks for your help.
