How to control the internal links from Mamp to Live Site

There are three ways to manage the links — all work using pretty much the same code. Basically, you do a search and replace for live domain -> local or vice versa using

1. The plugin “better search replace” or
2. The search-replace of wp-cli (see wp-cli.org) or
3. this script: https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/

Thanks Steven, the original site was 2 wp site one english and one french. I develop locally (Mamp) a unique bilingual (with polylang) from the french site. The result is now a mix of local url and original french and english url.

Should I harmonized all that to my local url before migrating the site to it’s live environment or do it when live?

Polylang complicates things. I’d ask them what’s the best way to go.

Thanks Steven, I finally harmonized all my url to my local server by a search and replace in the database.

I will do the same when sending live.

What a pain. I’m glad to work mostly with Joomla, maintaining a local clone is easy as pie. Any serious Dev need to maintain a local clone for backup & testing.
