Match Joomla Versions:
Make sure your dev site and live site are using the same Joomla version. Sometimes, different versions can mess with how paths work.
Check Media Settings:
Go to Content -> Media in Joomla.
Double-check that the media settings (like where files and images are stored) are the same on both sites.
Fixing the Image Path:
If Joomla keeps changing the image path back to the long one, try this:
Edit the module and paste the short path (images/assets/hero/va-patient-care.jpg).
Save it and see if it sticks. If it doesn't, Joomla might be trying to manage the image path automatically.
Override with Custom Code:
If the above steps don't work, you might need to manually override it. This involves editing the module's PHP file directly to use the short path.
Here’s a quick way to do it:
Find where your module is located (usually in /modules/your_custom_module).
Open the PHP file that handles the image output.
Replace the image path with your short path directly in the code.
It might look something like this:
php
Copy code
<img src="images/assets/hero/va-patient-care.jpg" alt="VA Patient Care">
That should force Joomla to use the short path without reverting back.
