Assets not loading when using Ngrok + MAMP

Hera

I am developing locally using MAMP and showcasing the work to my client using Ngrok, however some assets, namely icons, don't load, such as the instagram or play video icons (see attached). Ngrok say it is due to using absolute URLs instead of relative ones.

Ok I have fixed most of it by installing the plugin recommended by Ngrok to use relative urls: https://ngrok.com/docs#wordpress

I still get one error: http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wp-includes/js/wp-emoji-release.min.js?ver=4.9.2

Hi again:-)

Icon of play is set in Elementor. However social icons are from font awesome and set from theme.

Hera said: Ngrok say it is due to using absolute URLs instead of relative ones.

Absolute URL to what? Everything in WordPress is build on absolute URLs, as they are safest instead of relative paths.

What I am seeing is that icon fonts responsible for those icons are not loaded. This often happens when using optimization plugins, where paths are rewritten in wrong way.

Can you send me link that you would send to your client? I could then see what is wrong with URL.

With kind regards.
