Update URLS PRO for Selective WordPress URL Changes

Update WordPress URLs after a website move

After a WordPress site moves to a new domain, internal links, page references, or image references may still use the previous domain. Update URLS PRO is a paid edition for searching and replacing old URLs across site data, with controls for choosing where changes execute and which results to apply.

Choose the data to search

Select specific WordPress database tables to focus an operation on the areas relevant to the URL update. The process also supports links embedded in content, excerpts, and custom fields, with a choice about whether to update attachment references. After an operation, review the number of entries updated to see its scope.

Preview results and decide what to apply

Run a Dry Run to preview expected changes before the database is modified. Review the proposed results, then apply all changes or selectively execute specific search and replace results. This lets you match the update to the review you have completed.

Keep records and reuse options

One-click database export and import utilities can be part of a workflow for backing up data before changes and restoring database data when needed. Search and replace history records operations, and detailed logs let you review them. If an operation needs to be reversed, the one-click undo capability can roll it back.

For recurring tasks, save a configuration as a custom profile and load it again when a similar operation comes up. Profiles can support routine maintenance or repeated URL updates across projects.

Install and run an update

Install Update URLS PRO on the WordPress website where URLs need changing. Open the plugin tools, select the relevant tables and content areas, and enter the old and replacement URLs. Run a Dry Run, review its results, then apply all or selected changes. Use export and import, history, profiles, or rollback tools as appropriate for the workflow. PRO also includes priority email support and updates.
