Question

I have a wordpress site that I moved from domain.info to domain.com. Some of the older articles still reference images at domain.info. How can I script it to replace all instances of example.info with example.com? Can I do it in MySQL without having SSH access to find and replace?

http://www.example.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/image-239.jpg

should be

http://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/image-239.jpg

EDIT:

Or maybe even using .htaccess?

Answer 1

UPDATE mytable SET url = REPLACE(url, 'www.example.info', 'www.example.com') 
WHERE url LIKE 'http://www.example.info%'

or somewhat slower:

UPDATE mytable SET url = REPLACE(url, 'www.example.info', 'www.example.com') 
WHERE url LIKE '%www.example.info%'
