What It Does

This plugin is a fork of the Velvet Blues Update URLs plugin. Since Velvet Blues Update URLs is not actively maintained and not tested with the latest version of WordPress, we decided to maintain and continue to improve it.

If you move your WordPress website to a new domain name, you will find that internal links to pages and references to images are not updated. This plugin helps you change old URLs and links in your website.

Users can choose to update links embedded in content, excerpts, or custom fields. They can also choose whether to update links for attachments and view how many items were updated.

The pro version offers time-saving features such as viewing exactly what changed during a search/replace, backing up and importing the database while running a search/replace, priority email support, and the ability to save or load custom profiles for quickly repeating a search/replace.
