 * Hi, I just wanted to know the risks of using better search replace to update 
   from http to https? When using the dry-run, does that give you a clue if something
   bad can happen?
    I have a backup of the database but when I did a dry run using
   better search replace it said 84 tables were searched, and 702 cells were found
   that need to be updated. The website works fine, there is the ssl padlock, but
   my only problem is that when accessing the website via the facebook app and browser,
   some image links are broken. I’m torn between leaving the website as it is or
   making changes to the database for the website to be fully functional.Also, if
   something does go wrong and the database gets damaged, what should be the 1st
   step I should take to fix it? I would gladly appreciate some advice as I dont
   know what to do at the moment! Thanks

 * Sorry, I was wrong about the ssl padlock. My website doesn’t have it. The url
   of my website is [https://www.deamicis.co.uk](https://www.deamicis.co.uk)
 * Thanks
