 * When I attempted to do a dry run to see the results first, I’ve checked the “
   run as dry run” box and get an error message telling me to select the tables 
   I want to update first.
 * I’m wanting to replace anything with [http://yourdomain.com](http://yourdomain.com)
   with [https://yourdomain.com](https://yourdomain.com)
 * Can anyone tell me what the issue is?

 * That sounds like the message that occurs when you didn’t select any tables to
   run the search/replace on. Note that you must click on the tables in the multi-
   select box.
