Question

In wordpress next_posts_link(); returns http://currenturl.com/currentpage**/page/x/**.
What could I add in functions.php to return http://baseurl.com/page/x/ in all cases, so an absolute URL without just adding /page/x/ to the current page.

Thanks for your ideas guys!

Regex is your friend:

$test = 'http://example.com/test';
$test = preg_replace('/^http:\/\/.*?(\/.*)/', "http://baseurl.com$1", $test);
echo $test;

Adjust to suit your needs. It might be worthwhile defining your base url as a constant and encapsulating this functionality in a function.
