moved site can't see images

    Recently moved my site. The pages load with the proper CSS but the images do not. They all still point to the old server. I started going back to each post in my dashboard and changing the location for each image. This works but it’s going to take forever. Question 1: Is there a faster way?
    Question 2: Why doesn’t it change in the Media Library? I can’t see any of my images here and then in Edit Media, it won’t let me change the URL.

    If your directory structure is still the same (wp-content/uploads/…) then it should have worked just fine, unless in your code you are calling the images with an absolute link that includes a slightly different structure before the WordPress directories are met.

    In the short term, you can use MySQL to replace all bad entries with good entries in your DB (search for ‘MySQL REPLACE’). It’s a pretty easy task once you get the syntax right.

    Thanks.

    I sort of stumbled into this and found all the bad addresses but the syntax was daunting. Any tips… I ain’t much of a coder.
