I’m a big fan of using WP CLI search-replace. įortunately, there are some tools for doing a search and replace in serialized data and updating these length values. If the new URL is a different length than the old URL, this is going to cause problems. ![]() The problem that arises is when the data is serialized, each value that is stored as a string and also has a value indicating its length. With a serialized value, something like an array can be stored in a single field in the database. While this seems perfectly reasonable that you’re updating all instances of your old URL to the new URL in wp_postmeta, a problem occurs if the URL appears in a serialized value. I do want to point out a problem with using this statement. ![]() If your tables have abc_posts instead of wp_posts, you will have to change the actual data above.Ĭlick Simulate Query so you can see what it will change before it actually does.įirst, I want to say I love these posts you are creating documenting some of your practices. UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = replace(meta_value,'','') UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, '', '') UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, '','') Don’t forget to click Save Changes at the bottom to store the settings. Using the two text boxes, you can enter your new URLs. Step 2: Beneath General Settings you can enter a new WordPress Address URL and a new Site Address. Links in footer UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, '', '') WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl' Step 1: Login to your /wp-admin and using the menu on the left hover over Settings and click General. ![]() Change wp_options siteurl and home, manually or with this: UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, '', '') WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl'
