FAQ
-
Using SurfLink
-
Once activated, SurfLink will add a page under the “SurfLink” menu page in your WordPress admin.
-
Can I damage my site with this plugin?
-
Yes! Entering a wrong search or replace string could damage your database. Because of this, it is always adviseable to have a backup of your database before using this plugin.
-
How does this work on WordPress Multisite?
-
You can go to the dashboard of any subsite to run a search/replace on just the tables for that subsite.
-
How can I use this plugin when changing URLs?
-
If you’re moving your site from one server to another and changing the URL of your WordPress installation, the approach below allows you to do so easily without affecting the old site:
- Backup the database on your current site
- Install the database on your new host
- On the new host, define the new site URL in the
wp-config.phpfile, as shown here - Log in at your new admin URL and run SurfLink on the old site URL for the new site URL
- Delete the site_url constant you added to
wp-config.php. You may also need to regenerate your .htaccess by going to Settings -> Permalinks and saving the settings.
