Update URLs – Quick and Easy way to search old links and replace them with new links in WordPress

Description

Important Note

This plugin is a fork of a Velvet Blues Update URLS. Since, Velvet Blues Update URLS plugin is not actively maintained and not tested with the latest version of WordPress, We decided to maintain and continue to improve.

So, if you are already using Velvet Blues Update URLS plugin, simply download this plugin and start using it.

If you move your WordPress website to a new domain name, you will find that internal links to pages and references to images are not updated. Instead, these links and references will point to your old domain name. This plugin fixes that problem by helping you change old urls and links in your website.

Features

• Users can choose to update links embedded in content, excerpts, or custom fields
• Users can choose whether to update links for attachments
• View how many items were updated

Time-saving features available in the Pro version

• View exactly what changed during a search/replace
• Backup and import the database while running a search/replace
• Priority email support from the developer of the plugin
• Save or load custom profiles for quickly repeating a search/replace in the future
• Premium Support and updates for 1 year

I come from Velvet Blues plugin that used to do the same job, but abandoned with a serious security flaw (and ultimately banned from downloaded again from wp.org). I was looking for that plugin and found your fork. Thanks again for keeping it up-to-date.

Quick and Easy

Easy to use and works exactly as described. A big help when moving my old html site to wordpress.

Awesome plugin and customer service!

darigi January 9, 2024

The plugin worked great for its job, but it generated undesired 404 by leaving broken .js and .css paths of unused code. I reached out to the team, who actualized the plugin in a couple of hours since I messaged them. I actualized the plugin and all the undesired code was gone. That’s awesome customer service and deserve 5 stars.

Very Helpful Tool

Simple tool, doeas everything that is expected. One thing to improve: form txt box to paste urls, has a limit which cuts long urls – very annoying :/
