Change your site’s domain with confidence.

Go Live Update Urls PRO takes all the guesswork out of changing your WordPress domain. Click a single button and this plugin updates every URL on any WordPress site, including yours. 

Here are some features we think you will like.

 

Plugin Tables

Many WordPress plugins will create custom database tables and store serialized data inside of them. This can create a real problem when trying to replace a URL. Go Live Update Urls PRO is the only plugin on the market that is smart enough to detect this type of data and update it without any issues. This detection allows this plugin to update only what is needed and keep things impressively fast and lightweight. Update the data created by your plugins with confidence.

URL Testing

Before you make any changes to your site you can click a readily available button to test the new URL. This plugin goes through common mistakes and lets you know if there are any issues. If issues are found an option will be displayed to automatically fix issues for you. It also checks the new URL against your server to make sure everything is ready to go server-side. Catch issues before they happen with URL testing.

Site Address History

Once this plugin is activated, all changes you make to your site address via General Settings or Go Live, will be tracked and viewable. Not sure exactly what your old and new URL settings should be? No problem. With Site Address History, you can see exactly what they used to be and what they are now. A convenient "Use" button will automatically copy the URLs from history to the correct fields.

Predictive URLs

Updating the domain of your site just got easier with Predictive URLs. A commonly used workflow is to update the domain of your site using General Settings then head over to Go Live to change all the site content. Now this process is virtually one-click because the Old URL and New URL will automatically be filled out for you. Click submit and you are done. No more guessing and no more typos. Switching your site with this plugin used to take 30 seconds, now it takes 5.

Site Sections

Sometimes you only want to change the domain on a certain type of content. Sometimes you just want to know exactly what to expect when you click submit. Go Live Update Urls PRO organizes your content into intuitive and understandable sections. Simply uncheck the sections you don't want to update and they won't. If you prefer to see a full table list, there is a simple button which will show you everything. Counting and reporting works on both the section and the table views.

Priority Support

Priority support is having your own support team standing by to make sure you are successful. In-depth troubleshooting, guidance, styling assistance, extending, and filtering are just a few things included with Priority Support. You also get access to the members only support area.

    I handled a migration from wp.com that ended up pulling in only some of the images. The Media Library was missing most of what should have been there. The images in the posts remained on the old server. They were loading, so without digging, nobody would notices those images were being remotely served until the old site was shut down. I had the uploads files themselves, but now I had to at least link to those on the new server. I disabled extra image processing (SmushIt) and worked the problem with plugins.

    I tried Auto Upload Images plugin, and it worked somewhat. It captured some of those remote images and pulled them in. Helpful, but incomplete. Those it captured did end up in the Media Library, so yay for that. Without a log, though, I don’t know what worked and what didn’t.

    For the rest, I figured I had to just change the URLs in the post content. I used Better Search Replace, and it caught a lot more references, but again missed many. I could not detect a pattern though. It was not timing out. It was just missing references in the Posts table. And it was finding references in other tables, including the options table. I went directly into the SQL table to investigate, but couldn’t find what it was seeing. I was using the free version of Better Search Replace, so I didn’t have any logs to refer to.

    Because this is such a common problem in migrations using Export/Import, I kept looking for a plugin, and that’s when I saw Go Live Update URLs. I thought what the heck. And this plugin found what was not found by these other plugins. All of my img links to the old server are now pointing to the new site. Many images still exist only in the filesystem, not in the Media Library. But I can live with that.

    This plugin is now my first go-to next time I encounter this.

    As to why the other plugins and even direct queries to the database missed what this plugin found, I figure I must have done something wrong. Not escaping characters or something.

    I did not want to pay for a plugin so I tried every other plugin I could find that did search and replace and they all broke my site.
    I purchased this plugin and it worked perfectly straight away. The plugin ran so fast I thought it didn’t change anything, but it changed everything in one shot.

    Found out after using the plug in that my development website (wp.domain.com) with cloud installation of WordPress at host provider was on a different server than my placeholder production website (domain.com) built with a cloud installation of a different tool at the host provider. The production website on the other server was thus not going to move itself out of the way to let the plug in do everything the end customer might wish for. The host provider has since put changes into motion and from first glances at the wp.domain.com content seems pretty sure that the plug in got the urls ready, and when the server adjustment are replicated with the worldwide servers, the WordPress material will in fact be usable at domain.com, and I will be finally be able to get back into the WP admin via domain.com/wp-admin and close any small gaps. I will edit the review with the final conclusion. Hoping for a perfect result. IT savvy but relatively speaking. Laypeople suffer from IT lingo/detail overload, which is why we buy plug-ins!

    I had no idea what I was doing but Matt walked me through the process which ended up being really simple.
    I usually try to leave at least one complaint when I write a review, but in this case I can’t think of a single one…
    Well done sir.

    100% of the time, it works every time.

    I used the free version many times without issue so $39.99 for a lifetime license on all of my sites seemed like a no-brainer to me. Well worth it.
