hey guys, I want to contribute because I found a workaround that solved everything for me very simply.
I tried @themadproducer technique and also tried following @kr4ft3r instructions too. Nothing worked. I was screwed but luckily found this solution which I wanted to share with you.
Download this free plugin called search and replace.
Activated it
Backup your database
Go to the top tab that says “Search and Replace”.
Now search for: “www.yourolddomain.com”
Replace with: “yournewdomain.com”
Check off all tables
Check off dry run
You’ll see the tables at the top and how many items will be replaced.
Now do the same exact thing but uncheck dry run.
check off the box (save changes to database) at the bottom
Do search and replace
That should do the trick. Be sure you backup your database in case it doesn’t work. Do it at your own risk though, it worked for me. I can’t see how this will mess anything up if you follow the instructions above but again, it’s up to you.
Good luck and I hope the new plugin will be corrected.
