Cannot run “Better Search Replace” with GenerateBlocks

    Dear Developers,

    If I want to move a website from my local environment to a live server, I always do the same procedure.

    1. Export the database and create a zip from all the files.
    2. Upload the files and the database to the new server.
    3. Add WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL constants to the wp-config.php file.
    4. Run the “Better Search Replace” plugin to replace all the old (aka. local) URLs to the final domain.

    With your plugin, the mentioned “Better Search Replace” plugin isn’t work properly. The URLs of the images will not be replaced until I manually save every page again that contains images.

    I’ve made a support question previously on the “Better Search Replace” support page and the developer said that your plugin is using some unique ways to save the page data to the database.

    Could you look this up? It is very frustrating to save every page manually after every website move.

    Best regards,
    Gergo Simko

    Hi @simkog,

    Out of curiousity, why not use a migration plugin? Example: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/

    Does it not work for your local setup?

    Hi @fernandoazarcon2,

    I have tried several migration plugins, but some (shared) hosting company has way too many limitations. The “native” solution is more reliable, in my opinion.

    Hope you don’t mind be mentioning this, but I use ‘All in One Migration’ (as Fernando has mentioned) for moving sites ( and scheduled backups ) – it has never failed me, works perfectly 100% of the time!

    I see. Well, what the Better Search and Replace support member said is true. The ID of the image is stored as well.

    It gets the BG Image by ID – [‘bgImage’][‘id’]

    The best option would be to migrate everything including the image. Then consider the other “limitations” afterward.
