Proper way to relink

[aap]

hi
I need to replace all instances of one link for another, how can I do that in such a way to guarantee nothing breaks? There may be too many instances to update manually.

This is for a whole URL, linked in from pictures, text, buttons,etc.

THANKS

Hello @flashfog,

Thanks for writing in! What you can do is to install a 3rd party plugin like Better Search and Replace. You can do a search for https://example.com/old-link and then replace it with https://example.com/new-link/. The plugin will change any occurrence of the old link with the new link in the database all at once.

Hope this make sense.

it does, thanks. I am surprised maintaining links is not built as a core function of wp!
