How to use to CHANGE DOMAIN name only

    Hello.
    Can this plugin assist with moving a WordPress with WooCommerce site from a DEVELOPMENT URL to a Production URL .. all on the same server + hosting account?

    I am developing a customer’s NEW WordPress + WooCommerce site on a development server. The development URL is: http:\\clientname.net.temp.mydevhost.com\

    The customer’s domain name remains pointed at their “OLD” webserver / website, until the new site is ready for production go-live.

    Once approval is obtained, I will alter their DNS records to direct to the “development” server and, hence, I will need to update their new WordPress+WooCommerce website by changing the URL (wp-config.php and database) from:

    http:\\clientname.net.temp.mydevhost.com\
    to
    http:\\clientname.net\

    I’ve used the Velvet Blues plugin, in the past, but it was incomplete at best.

    Hallo und danke, Rene.

    I apologize for the delay in responding. Due to time constraints, I was unable to await your kind enhancement to the plugin. As I previously mentioned, I did reference the “dry run” report and then manually performed the work against the WP database tables which I also listed above.

    I will certainly try your plugin again, with my next project, as this approach is how I typically develop a new customer / project.

    Will you be promoting the enhancement to the official plugin .. or is that only available at your special URL: https://github.com/inpsyde/search-and-replace/archive/master.zip ?

    Hey you’r welcome,

    Whats your meaning of

    The official way is wporg but if you want contribute you can fork and send pull requests.
    Another way is loading the plugin with composer as package like:

    https://packagist.org/packages/inpsyde/search-and-replace

    "require": {
    "inpsyde/search-and-replace": ">=3.*"
},

    I assumed that you made some enhancement to the Search & Replace plugin, per our discussion in this thread. If so, I was wondering if those changes would be included in the next public release here or only by downloading it from the URL that you provided above.

    Danke mein Freund!

    Hi, the git version is on every time the newest version. If we have a stable version we release that to wporg. You can create issues at our Github Repo for any enhancement or bug.
