Using Local (localwp) live links with Brizy

I am trying to use live links but unfortunately Brizy uses absolute URLS so there is a problem with images. Is there any sort of work around for this?

  Hi Tom,

  Can you please share a live link with us and an example of an absolute URL that Brizy creates?

  It's not live right now it's behind a password. I would happily send it to you privately. You can see it in the image below though in the CSS. Local handles WP images just fine changing them from example.local to the live links (in this case https://large-wizard.localsite.io) so I can share with clients but does not touch the CSS added by Brizy.

  Hi Tom,

  Sending the username and password here is an option. Users' comments are not instantly published after they are added. Every post and comment is reviewed before being manually published. The username and password can be removed before publishing. Alternatively, you can email them to me at kc.george@brizy.io.

  I have installed Local and setup a test website. Please have a look at my live link here.

  When my laptop is shut down, the live link will not work. In case the live link does not work, please take a look at this video. https://jmp.sh/JaG5JPF

  Images on my test website seem to load without issues. Try this and see if it helps. Open the pages that are having image issues in the Brizy editor, make a minor edit (such as inserting a space after any text), and then save your work by clicking Update. Then, check to see if the images on that particular page appear on the live link.

  Yeah I have no idea. Never figured it out. Fortunately it was only one image. This was the fist time using Local and I really liked it so I was hoping that this was not going to be a problem. Anyway I got the site up and running and fingers crossed this was just a one time thing. 

  Thank you for looking into it and I will update you if this happens on the next one.
