Go Live Update Urls Pro

Go Live Update Urls Pro replaces an old website address with a new one across a WordPress database. It can help with domain changes, rebrands, migrations, and moves from staging to production. Select individual tables or grouped sections to control where the replacement runs.

Choose tables and review data formats

URLs may appear in posts, pages, picture URLs, excerpts, post metadata, custom post types, widgets, options, options, and other website data. The Pro edition includes plugin-created tables and updates serialized, encoded, and JSON data across tables. It can also convert relative URLs to absolute URLs.

The add-on identifies tables that may not be safe to update. Review those tables before proceeding. If you pick to update a table marked as not safe, back up the database first.

Test the proposed replacement

In the dashboard, open Tools and select Go Live. Enter or review the old and new URLs, choose tables or sections, then test the changes before running the update. The test report gives the count and location of URLs that would be affected. Real-time reporting also shows counts and locations as you work.

An option can correct common URL-entry mistakes, and predictive URL entry can fill in the old and new site addresses. After the update, review the counts and locations of changed URLs and the available update history. You can also view the history of your site's address.

Use the workflow that fits the site

Go Live Update Urls Pro works with single-site and multisite installations. Run an update from the WordPress dashboard or use WP-CLI to update URLs from the command line. The Pro edition includes priority support and access to a members-only support area.
