 * We currently use Velvet Blues Update URL’s, but it doesn’t update values in widgets.
 * So, does this plugin? 🙂

 * 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.
 * Best,

 * 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.

 * 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.
 * Best,
