don't work right

Insanely useful for migrations

By theomajors on February 15, 2023

I use Velvet Blue almost every time I migrate a website, and it is so dang useful.

In the few cases where it doesn't work, the "Find & Replace All" plugin does the job. Thanks for making such a helpful tool!

Works with Wordpress 6 too!

By 000panther on August 1, 2022

I am pretty happy - this plugin found most URLs (except on Borlabs Cookie Banner) and saved me a lot of work.

Essential for our WP Migrations

By Schuyl, Inc. (schuylinc) on March 23, 2022

All of the WordPress sites we are tasked to create start up in a local development stack. When we are ready to present the site to our clients, we migrate the sites over to our demo server for them to see and make their approvals or critiques. Once approved, we migrate the sites over to their permanent hosts with proper domain names. We use Velvet Blues Update URLs with both of these manual migrations to change the domain names of all links within sites. Every WP installation of ours has this plugin installed in case links need to be updated or if we need to copy sites to our dev stack to perform any local diagnostics. This plugin works with WordPress 5.9.2.

Best

By albion8 on October 1, 2021

Very good solution. It can change any URL position in all website. For example? from site.com/best to site.com/verybest. It is good solution for URL with refferal codes. Also great solution in the case of change domain. For example, from site.com to site2.com

Simply did not work

By beelzebomb on July 17, 2021

I can examine the code, create the code and edit the code - I thought this would save time so tested it and attempted to update localhost links within a page to the live environment links. It failed to find any of the links.

Still a lot not change if use phpMyAdmin to check.

By larenmerc on May 10, 2021

I used cPanel phpMyAdmin and click the search menu and key in Example with percent in front and back like %https://abcshop.com% and found there are alot of them which were not changed. Guess I have to pay. Thank you.
