    Hello,

    Thank you for the plugin. It works well however I have discovered that I can’t update the root domain with Search and Replace Urls Plugins or in phpmyadmin using sql commands.

    When I push my dev site to my live server the urls found in the visual editor do not update no matter what I do.

    Why is this? Is the code in the Visual / Text Editor serialized?

    How can this be fixed?

    Thanks

    Are you sure are you using the search & replace tool recommended in our FAQ? Other search / replace tools may not work correctly. This depends on WordPress implementation, not directly on or plugin. See the same FAQ for further info.

    Hello Marco,

    Thank you for pointing out the script.

    For anyone else….

    Widgets disappeared after migrating or changing the site URL
    When dealing with a WordPress site URL change it is necessary to face the serialized fields issue: data may become corrupted if using a simple search/replace (see the Codex for further info). This is not an issue specifically related to our plugin, but it affects all the parts (plugins, themes and WordPress core files too) that use serialized data archiviation. When changing the site URL, the recommended way is to use the Search and Replace for WordPress Databases Script, as suggested by the Codex.
