• So I’ve noticed this on a few sites now–especially with page builder plugins.

    Migrate Guru very thoroughly and effectively carries out a search and replace of the website’s URLs to match the new domain of the destination. However, in most cases, I’m just using a temporary staging URL at the destination until I can confirm the migration was successful, after which I want to change them back.

    Once I’ve updated the DNS records, I usually use wp-cli to perform a search and replace to change the URLs back to the original. However, that’s where the problem arises. Migration Guru succeeds at replacing URLs that wp-cli and plugins like “Better Search & Replace” just don’t find.

    You guys seem to have accounted for url encoding schemes that the others don’t.

    Can you suggest a method for changing back all of the URLs that Migrate Guru changes?

    Additionally, I propose you update Migrate Guru with a feature to use the same search*replace foo to allow replacing the URLs on the destination after a successful migration. Since the plugin remains installed and active on the destination after a migration anyway, this seems like it would be a logical and very useful feature.
