Pushing Site from Local to Online Environment (and the reverse) Resets Base Location Setting

[zoladesigners]

This is in version 2.1.6 of the plugin

I am using the Child Theme Base Location setting, when I push the site to a live environment (ie on a domain name) or pull from a live environment to a local install this setting resets to Parent Theme.

Same issue for me, @zoladesigners. Any fix?

I have seen this from time to time too. So I am having the same issue.

And I am using the latest version of the plugin.

Is this closed because it's been fixed or is it just identified as a bug?

This is due to using an absolute path instead of a relative one for the CSS directories. I'll work on a PR to not store the aboslute path in the database instead loading it from the WP env.
@kvangorden21 its a known bug, no solution yet.

From #207 as this provides a good explanation of the underling issue.

I am using an host providing me a staging environment. But in this case there are an issue. The path to the base location is stored as full path in wp_options table. But the path are different between live and staging:

Live: /home/wp/disk/wordpress/wp-content/...
Staging: /home/wp/disk/wordpress_staging/wp-content/...

So the generated css are not available. Is there a chance to change this, that only the part from wp-content/... will be stored in wp_options and the path to the wordpress installation is added during runtime? This would solve this issue.

Has anyone been able to test #219?

Last chance to test this before it is merged in.
