media 'path' issue / concern when bringing files live

  • Hi all,
    I’m currently developing a site we have installed on a sub-domain.
    'beta.mysite.com'

    We will eventually, be moving site to it’s root domain.
    'www.mysite.com'

    Problem? –
    the ‘media’ files, will the paths to each upload, manually point all files to new path?

    before: ‘https://beta.mysite.com/wp-uploads/2010/07/image1.jpg’
    after: ‘https://www.mysite.com/wp-uploads/2010/07/image1.jpg’

  • See Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory. You don’t have to “move” WP at all – just a couple of files.

    Hi esmi, thank you for reply –
    ok, i see how this works, but for kicks (and in my case, practicality)

    How else can i get around this issue ? (adjust path ‘suffix’ to new domain)

    I mean, ideally – this subdomain will be removed when out of ‘beta’ phasing.

    Anyone? Other suggestions gladly appreciated!

    Cheers

    [Mod. Search and replace your database for beta.domain.com and replace with https://www.domain.com is the best, safest and ‘normal’ way to do it.]
