    Hello,

    I recently updated my website by building a version of it on my host, so the URL when I was building the site was http://localhost:43845.
    I then followed all the steps for moving the site to a new URL, however there are still problems with some of the links and also some avatar images and other images in the theme are missing.

    You can find the site here:
    http://www.muscle-munch.com

    I really appreicate any help as I’ve been trying to get this uploaded for two weeks now.

    Thanks,

    -Dan

    try using Search RegEx « WordPress Plugins for changing image URLs through posts and pages or see Search and Replace plugins

    always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong. It’s a great safety net.

    It looks like WordPress still thinks your site url is your localhost installation.

    You can edit this via wp-config with

    define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');

    Or in Settigns > General from your dashboard.

    Or you could use a search and replace tool as Tara mentioned above. I prefer this one.

    Thanks for the advice, I followed your advice, however the RedEx plugin does not find any results, and I changed the site address in the generals tab and now the site design is messed up!
    Any further help would be great.

    Thanks

    You are generating quite a few errors in the console. (You can use developer tools and click on the Console tab to see them) I would recommend addressing these as it seems your links are now working properly but some files are not being found.

    Some of your images are looking for a http://www.www.muscle-munch.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/John-Champion_avatar_1414892994-80×80.jpg (Notice the double www’s)

    Your theme-black.css is also not found (which I am assuming is why your layout is broken). It looks like Better WordPress Minify plugin is altering the links a bit so I am not entirely sure the correct path it should be searching for.

    Press F12 in Chrome, click Console and use that as a checklist to address the layout issues.

    Thanks so much for your help!

    It’s all solved now, was basically the plugin and then used the script to solve the “www.www.” issue.

    Thanks again!
