 * After moving my blog around my domain I need help using this plugin.
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/)
 * I need to rename the path to all my images.
    Which boxes in the Plugin do I check?
 * Is this correct syntax for entry boxes below?
    Replace (old url path): “http://
   kiteastman.com/silverminnow/wp-content/uploads”
 * with (new url path)
 * “http://kiteastman.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads”
 * is this right?

 * Also tried with www (which is what the image uploads in my individual posts say).
   
   This didn’t work either — “0 entries found” was the message
 * Replace (old url path):
    “http://www.kiteastman.com/silverminnow/wp-content/uploads”
 * with (new url path)
 * “http://www.kiteastman.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads”

 * Are you still seeing links to the old URL? I browsed the site for a moment but
   didn’t see any broken images or incorrect links. You may have already fixed this.
   If it isn’t fixed, if you can find where the broken links/images are at it should
   be easier from there to discern what the old URL path is which needs to be replaced.

 * I still would like help – I started to fix all my old urls by hand in the html
   window of the wysiwyg editor.
 * I’d prefer to fix the rest with the Search and Replace plugin, if I can figure
   out how it works. Just did this command to no effect – it didn’t find anything
   and I know the 2/3rd of the links to images still reference the old directory.
   I really need specific help.
 * » Search \”kiteastman.com/silverminnow/wp-content/uploads/\” … and replace with\”
   kiteastman.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/\”
 * thank you.

 * Duh. The problem was I used quotation marks in the search. After stripping those
   out, more than 1000 image links were restored in less than 2 seconds!!! Thanks
   for this plugin …
