Update URLS PRO

Update WordPress URLs after a site move

When a WordPress site moves to a new domain, internal links, page references, and picture references may still use the previous domain. Update URLS PRO is a paid edition for searching and replacing old URLs and links in WordPress data, with controls for developers, agencies, and site owners to define and review each operation.

Set the search scope

Select the specific WordPress database tables an operation should cover. The URL update process also works with links in content, excerpts, and custom fields, and gives you the option to update attachment references. Choosing tables sets the database scope; choosing content areas and attachment handling determines which references the workflow addresses.

Preview results before applying them

Run a Dry Run to inspect expected changes before the database is modified. After reviewing the results, apply the full set or selectively execute specific search-and-replace results. The operation reports how many items were updated, so you can review its scope afterward.

Review, reverse, or reuse operations

Complete search-and-replace history and detailed logs let you review previous operations. If you need to reverse an operation, the one-click undo feature offers a way to roll it back. Custom profiles let you save a configuration and load it for a similar task later.

One-click database export and import utilities can be included in a workflow for backing up data before changes and restoring database data when required.

Install and run a URL update

Download and install Update URLS PRO on the WordPress site where URLs need changing. Open the plugin tools, select the relevant tables and content areas, and enter the old and replacement URLs. Run a Dry Run first and review the results, then apply all or selected changes. Use export and import, history, profiles, or rollback tools as needed. PRO also includes priority email support and updates.
