    I migrated the server and used a preproduction stage to be sure everything was ok
    When I migrated form prepro to production some urls are pointing to the old preproduction and it casued losing traffic because google unindexed the urls

    The old preproduction base url was https://jolly-ramanujan.85-214-65-87.plesk.page/ and it should be https://entrecristianos.com as you can see in the url I publish

    Not all the urls are incorrect but the old ones and those are a lot.

    I Installled the Yoast Test Helper plugin, reset indexables tables & migrations and optimized the Yoast and still having the problem,

    How can I solve it not having to go to each article and replace it?. I can do a replace using database query but don´t know in nwhich table and field

    Please help me

    Thanks

    Hello @ejgarciam

    After migrating your site to production, I’m sorry you are experiencing the wrong canonical URLs. So I checked https://entrecristianos.com/florecer-como-la-palmera/ and indeed, it has the wrong canonical URL:

    <link rel="canonical" href="https://jolly-ramanujan.85-214-65-87.plesk.page/?p=8982" />

    My first recommendation would have been resetting indexables table and migration with Yoast Test Helper, which you have tried but didn’t help, unfortunately.

    Please try the following:
    1. Install the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin to perform a conflict check. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which does not affect normal visitors to your site.
    2. Use the plugin to deactivate all other plugins except Yoast SEO and Yoast Test Helper then switch to a default WordPress theme
    3. Navigate to WordPress Tools > Yoast Test and click on the ‘Reset indexables tables & migrations’, ‘Reset Prominent words calculation’, and ‘Reset Internal link counter’ buttons. After each click, the page will reload to confirm that the specific reset was successful.
    4. Go to SEO > Tools, and under SEO data, click the “Start SEO data optimization” button to allow Yoast to rescan your content.

    Please let us know if the reported issue remains after resetting the optimized data in the troubleshooting mode. This helps to rule out plugin conflicts
