In reply to: [Q and A Focus Plus FAQ] Search not returning post type qa_faqsSorry, my bad, didn’t do enough digging before posting.
There’s a search filter hidden in the theme functions file that’s merrily overriding everything.

In reply to: Lost widgets after site URL change.That looks like it will do the job.
Not sure when we’re due to do another domain move, but I’ll definitely try this out when we do.
Thanks for the link.

In reply to: Lost widgets after site URL change.Not yet! :o(
Just went through the process of a domain change yesterday and the text widgets went missing again.
I’d descovered the issue with the string length needing to be changed with serialised keys after going through a DB export line by line to see if there was something the search and replace was missing.
Currently it seems to be only the text widget that causes a problem. So my current process is to copy the content out of any text widgets into a text file. Export the DB then manually search and replace the domain name adjusting any string lengths as required. Import the modified file and then recreate the text widgets. All of which can take a long time if there is a lot of data. Fortunately I’ve only had to do this with new sites so there is very little data in them. I wouldn’t want to do it with an established site!
There must be a better way than this though?!
