Title: WordPress adding absolute paths Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # WordPress adding absolute paths * Resolved [GeertvanH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geertvanhorrik/) * (@geertvanhorrik) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-adding-absolute-paths/) * Hi, * I am trying to use this with wordpress 4.4 and Azure hosting. The plugin generates the following code (notice the d:homesitewwwroot it is adding): * ``` myaction_express_menu_icon ``` * As you can see, it adds the right src url, but the whole srcset is wrong. I did try to understand whats going on by doing the following: * 1. Search if the plugin is responsible for the srcset (I think it’s not) 2. Check the usage of wp_get_attachment_image_src() (might be, but what is causing this?) 3. Tried customizing the path in the wp-config.php (using define(‘UPLOADS’,‘ wp-content/uploads’);) * Nothing seems to work. Happy to do a PR, but it would be great if you could give me some points that might help finding this issue. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/menu-image/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/menu-image/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [zviryatko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zviryatko/) * (@zviryatko) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-adding-absolute-paths/#post-6869118) * Hi, it’s a core issue, look at this function [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.4/src/wp-includes/media.php#L1067](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.4/src/wp-includes/media.php#L1067), I think you can fix it by using this filter `wp_calculate_image_srcset`. * Thread Starter [GeertvanH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geertvanhorrik/) * (@geertvanhorrik) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-adding-absolute-paths/#post-6869191) * Thanks for the fast reply, it was really helpful! * I made 2 changes that “fixes” the issue: * 1. Add this code to __construct in menu-image.php * ``` // Fix for broken images on azure & wordpress 4.4 add_filter( 'wp_calculate_image_srcset', 'fix_broken_image_sources', 10, 2 ); ``` * 2. Add this method below the __construct method: * ``` /** * Fixes broken image sources as discussed in https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-adding-absolute-paths */ public function fix_broken_image_sources($sources, $size_array, $image_src, $image_meta, $attachment_id) { return false; } ``` * I am not very good with php (been a *long* time ago), but this seems to fix it for now. * [zviryatko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zviryatko/) * (@zviryatko) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-adding-absolute-paths/#post-6869389) * Sorry, but it’s not a fixing problem, this code just disable srcset property for images, so i can’t add this to plugin, better add this to your theme functions. php, btw, it’s a core bug, i think maybe there is exists a patch, if not just write your problem to wordpress core bug tracker. * Thread Starter [GeertvanH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geertvanhorrik/) * (@geertvanhorrik) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-adding-absolute-paths/#post-6869390) * Fully understand. It was more as information for other users having the same issue. I hope they fix this in WordPress (then it’s no longer required). * [zviryatko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zviryatko/) * (@zviryatko) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-adding-absolute-paths/#post-6869391) * Ok, I add this to FAQ section. * [977KG](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gkhatri/) * (@gkhatri) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-adding-absolute-paths/#post-6869508) * Hi there, I am using plugins on one of my sites that I built. I was able to use this plugins and replaced normal text with image. Now the problem is I want to use different image/replace image with new version. * No matter what, the size keeps on dropping to 36×36. any suggestion? How can i force the image to use original size ie. 250x180px * Regards g.
