Site pages links: how to change them to their final domain name prefix?

    Hi,
    I am developing a site on my localhost server and soon will migrate it to the production server.
    Right now all the links to the site pages start with

    https://localhost/page.html

    meaning the localhost part will have to be different once the site is up and running on its definitive home server.
    How can I make sure that all the ‘localhost’ prefixed links are changed to the right site/domain name once uploaded there (without having to do that manually that is)?
    Cheers

    Can you edit the URLs right after you create the link? If so, instead of using https://localhost/page.html (absolute URL), you can use /page.html (relative URL). That way, you don’t have to modify anything in the future.

    Hi there!

    These articles could help:

    Moving WordPress

    Changing The Site URL

    On the other hand, there is a plugin called Better Search Replace that could help you with that.

    Remember to create a backup always before doing this kind of action!

    Hope it helps!

    Thank you both for your comments!
    @luisherranz right now each time a create a new page i get a permanent link which I cannot change (only the page name). How can I change this so that only a /page.html is the address?

    You need to change the URL each time you create a link in the content.

    Something like this: https://d.pr/i/aAUFY7

    It should also work like that in the Navigation Menu block.
