After moving your WordPress blog from one domain to another or maybe from one directory to another, the URLs that are linked in the posts will become dead though in order to make them work you will have to edit all the URLs from posts/pages or custom post types, etc. By editing them from the database one by one. So, I’m just going to show you a pretty simple way to update URLs after moving WordPress to another domain.
