    Hi, first of all thank you very much for this very amazing plugin.
    I wanna ask about the find/replace url.

    – I heard that the plugin will detect the new url so we dont have to change it when exporting, is it correct? will it work for all the image url and everything else?
    – the proper way to change url from localhost to sever:
    Do I have to change “localhost/wordpress/mysite” to “https://mysite.be” or should I leave it empty?
    – some how from sever to localhost : I always get loading img erroe due to image link: https://localhost/mysite.be/wp-content/…image.jpg? do you have any idea why?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi

    Thanks for the good words ??

    Yes, plugin will automatically detect your new Site URL on import. Yes it will work for all images, there is one side effect here if you are using Jetpack plugin with Photon module, URLs will not be changed because Jetpack upload all media files on their CDN and they generate their own URLs which we cannot replace on import because their are something like https://i0.wp.com/…

    No need to enter URLs in Find/Replace section except you have some other URLs in the database different than the current Site URL on export.

    Sometimes you can have loading images problem if .htaccess (mod_rewrite) is not configured properly or sometimes if you don’t have necessary permissions of ./wp-content/ directory so the plugin can restore the images. You may need to set 755 or 777 on ./wp-content/ if you see that some of the images are not there, but first check .htaccess configuration https://codex.www.ads-software.com/htaccess
