I’m working on updating an existing wordpress database and everything is going smoothly. However, the links are still directing to the old site. Is there any way to use a loop or something to run through every record and update http://OLD_URL.com to say http://NEW_URL.com?
I might just be too lazy to manually do it but I will if it comes down to it. Thank you.
I usually run a couple of quick commands in phpmyadmin and I’m done. Here’s a blog post that discusses this exact issue: http://www.barrywise.com/2009/02/global-find-and-replace-in-wordpress-using-mysql/ I would read this first: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL to make sure all your bases are covered first.
