Moving Website - Image URL

[AshleyF]

Hi,

I am not sure if this is a theme or wordpress issue, but maybe you can help me. I am building a new website on a test URL. Whilst I am not yet ready to move to our main website URL I have realised a problem.

When I am writing the content and inserting images, every image is being insert with the src of the test URL domain… i.e. src="http://TESTURL/wp-content/uploads/2018/

Does this mean I am going to have to manually change every image URL or when I move the site will the wp-config page reflect the new domain?

Hi @ocduk,

Thanks for writing in.

You don’t have to replace them one by one, just install Better Search Replace plugin and replace all existence of http://TESTURL/wp-content/ with the new URL like (http://LIKEURL/wp-content/) in all tables (select all tables).

And it should be as exact as http://TESTURL/wp-content/ and not http://TESTURL/wp-content/uploads/2018/ nor http://TESTURL/.

Thanks!
