Moved site to different domain, now everything is broken!

    After moving all the files/folders and copying over the database, and then changing the siteurl and home fields in wp_options table, the site should be migrated. However, the image galleries are completely broken. Instead of the image thumbnails, blank areas are shown (see images linked below). The inspect tool shows that src(unknown) in the source code. The same is true for the front-end galleries. Forgive me for saying so but this seems to be a pretty major oversight, how is it that this happened? Are you storing the urls with the full domain or something, instead of the relative urls? Why is it that doing a database search and replace with the correct domain still doesn’t resolve the issue (yes, serialized)?

    How to fix?

    Looks like you might have not fully migrated the site, this does not appear to be an issue related with our plugin, still please do the following:

    1) Manually review tables [prefix]_posts and [prefix]_postmeta, they might still have fields with references to the old domain; on posts table look for column guid on attachment records and on postmeta for meta_value. You can create a SQL script to find and replace the old domain too.

    2) As we stated in our F.A.Q., we recommend to use the cache tool in our plugin to flush old cache and generate new references.

    Regards
