While migrating your WordPress site or syncing the production database with staging you need to change the domain URL from the database. Instead of crawling within the WP databases, I will show you how to change WP domain URL through WP-CLI which is a more effective way with a simple command.
Prerequisites
- WordPress site
- WP-CLI
Solution
To change the domain URL through WP-CLI run the following command:
wp search-replace https://old-url.com https://new-url.com --all-tables;
The command will search for the old-url through the all database tables and replace it with the new-url domain. To see the changes immediately flush the WP cache with:
wp cache flush;
Now open your browser and navigate to your new domain URL.
