Which tables to select

    On the codex page for moving wordpress, it says “Note: Only perform a search and replace on the wp_posts table.” I just want to verify this is correct.
    I ran the dry run on just that table and got ### number of cells, then ran the dry run for all the tables (I am not replacing GUIDs)listed and got #### number of cells. Is it ok to replace all the cells in every table or should I just do the one?
    If it helps I am replacing the dev domain with live domain.

    Thanks for your time.

    Hi,

    Sorry for the delay. With this plugin, it should be safe to run on all tables since serialized data is supported, and even safer if you take a database backup beforehand.

    Let me know if you have any further questions, thanks!

    No worries, thanks for the response. I ended up doing just that and no restore needed, the plugin worked great!

    Thanks again,
    Nathan
