After migrating a WordPress site, you may find that some paths still point to the old location. You may also need to update paths stored in the database. Search and Replace is a plugin that can help.
Installation
- Download the plugin.
- In the WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins, upload the plugin and activate it.
- Configure Search and Replace.
- Run the replacement.
Checkboxes let you choose where to search and replace, which is useful for narrowing down the operation.
There are several plugins of this kind, so find one that suits the way you work.
Always back up your database before replacing its contents.
