Better Search Replace: The Best Way to Fix WordPress Migrations
Walkthrough Overview
About This Video Guide
I had a recent question from a viewer on YT about how to change domain names manually when migrating websites for WordPress from Local to Production.
In this video I cover how to manage domain names, media urls and migrations.
We cover WP CLI, Direct Database editing and Better Search Replace from WP Engine.
Hope this helps a whole lot of people when migrating WordPress and getting domain redirect issues.
