Hi there,
Our plugin will replace all occurences of the URL in the WordPress prefixed tables (by default, it’s wp_). All builtin widgets and the vast majority of custom widgets save their settings in there, so yes: the plugin will work.
The plugin will work with:
- Widgets, plugins, and code that save their stuff in database tables prefixed with the configured WordPress table name prefix
- Data saved as string, JSON encoded, or PHP serialized*
The plugin will not work with:
- Widgets, plugins, and code that save their stuff in files rather than in database
- Widgets, plugins, and code that save their stuff in database tables not named with the configured WordPress prefix
- Widgets, plugins, and code that obfuscate (encrypt, base64 encode, etc.) their stuff
* Most plugins out there don’t support PHP serialized data, which ends up messing up the config of some plugins such as Contact Form 7, and some widgets. We do support it.

Thanks for your quick reply. I tried the plugin on a new site launch, and it worked flawlessly.
Great work!
Will now be using this instead of Velvet Blues.
I am wondering if the following plugin falls into the category of URLs that will NOT be updated.
http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-catalogue/
I ran the Domain Changer and it worked well for the basic page navigation, but the links to all my product images did not update.
Thanks for any advice.
Hi gbfoote,
I don’t know about this plugin specifically. I had an overview of the code, and it seems to use custom post types, so it should work properly unless it obfuscates the data in some way prior to storing it.
