This plugin has text domain issue so that its GlotPress project cannot be created completely.
I think the following modifications can fix this issue.
Add “Text Domain: automatic-domain-changer” to plugin’s header.
auto-domain-change.php, Line 59
load_plugin_textdomain('automatic-domain-changer', false, dirname( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ) . '/languages/');
Change wrong text domain “auto-domain-change” to correct one “automatic-domain-changer” for the following lines.
Line 128, 145, 185, 211, 216, 220, 221, 222,236, 241, 245, 249, 251, 254, 259, 332, 336, 378.
]]>I successfully used this plugin to change site domain on migration from temporary domain to main domain.
Now I need to do migration form URL which is subdomain of main domain to main domain – move it from folder to root. It does not work.
Plugin acts like it has done its job but when I check urls, subdomain is still in urls.
Can this be fixed?
]]>It does not work on WP Multi Sites, it does not change the domain in “wp_blogs” (or $PREFIX_blogs).
Also the wp-config.php file needs to be updated:
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', $NEW_DOMAIN); // IF this is the new domain - detect
Add these last steps and your plugin will be complete! Thank you//
]]>Description says it is compatible up to 6.0.5.
Is it safe to use with latest version of WP?
]]>sometimes it will error when changing domain, I can track it down to a record and it SEEMS The issue is related to properly escaping the string before re-saving it luckily the record is usually something I can delete which solves the issue. Can you please add code that ensures any strings that need escaping are being handled? I see a function called esc_sql but it might be missing some items.
]]>@nuagelab I am hoping that you all are well and that you are continuing your fantastic work in developing plugins. This plugin hasn’t been updated in 3yrs and the last couple support threads don’t appear to have been resolved.
Can you please provide us with a status report for the plugin?
Have the reported issues been resolved?
Thanks,
Pat
I know this plugin is not abandoned as you stated 4 months ago in response to “Lordsnake”
But he does have a point. the plugin pages says
This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.
And it is losing favor in WordPress because of it.
I really like this plugin as it is much better the on the only other alternative “Velvet Blues Update URLs”
the links on your WP page go to 404’s on the NuageLab page such as:
https://www.nuagelab.com/products/wordpress-plugins/
Even if you just update a txt file it let WP know it is good to go that would be great.
If I was looking today I would skip over this plugin but I know it is a good tool.
Please help keep this alive.
If there were a link I would donate too. I could see a few improvements in the code but it is still the best
Thanks
Kevin
]]>When I run a change domain and in the site I am using Gutenberg Blocks (generated by ACF) it doesn’t change the domain.
]]>Hi,
Can I deactivate this plugin after it’s already done its job 2 years ago?
If I deactivate it, will pages of my site automatically go back to old domain name?
Asking coz plugin seems to be abandoned, according to security service
]]>This plugin has not been updated in 2 years, has it been abandoned?
If not, then it needs updating as Wordfence is giving security warnings.
I used the plug in to change my domain name from https://www.4x4nearandfar.com to https://www.4x4allrover.com – but it doesn’t look like it worked. My WP site is hosted with Bluehost and I backed it up first. Now when I go to view it, I get a version of 4x4nearandfar that is just type, left aligned, no images or any graphics. The only thing I did different from the instructions was that I checked to change https as well. How can I fix this? I’m not an experienced coder. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Caroline
]]>I used this plugin on several sites. Works great.
However, it produces high load on server when changing domain. For small sites it takes up short time so it is not a problem, but on bigger sites, this brings site and even server down.
On one site I ended up with error “User already has more than ‘max_user_connections’ active connections”.
It would be good it it relaxes server a bit, but making pauses between updates or even updating in batches.
It would be good also to have some replacement progress information.
]]>I’m getting this error while trying to change domains…
“”””””””””””””
No posts found. Try a different search?
Sorry, no posts matched your search. Try again with some different keywords.

I’m on a crappy godaddy server so its possible I’m hitting a memory problem?
]]>Great plugin.
It would be useful at times to not have http hard coded in the url so that we can go from https to http.
]]>I want to change the URL at a multisite (from dev URL to live domain https://mayumihovslageri.se/) but it can’t get this plugin to work. It doesn’t work at multisites?
]]>Just changed my domain from mydearlola.com to marina-paul.com and now I can’t access any on my two webpages!!!
I just followed the pugin instructions which seem so easy. I wrote the new and old directions and let it work.
Now I can’t access any of them. When I try to check mydearlola.com it jumps to the new marina-paul.com, which is horrible and absolutely messed up with no kind of info.

]]>I installed plugin and added lines to wp-config.php. At top of dashboard is message: The domain name of your WordPress blog appears to have changed! Click here to update your config or dismiss.

I am logged in as administrator of site. I want to change domain from assconline.org to .net.
HELP NEWBIE
Can this plugin be used to change a directory under a domain? Say from selfdomain.com/directory1 to selfdomain.com/directory2?
]]>Hello
I installed this plug in to change my domain however after I changed it, I wasn’t able to log in. I added a code into the wp-config.php as follows:
define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘https://the.address.and/path/of/your/site’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘https://the.address.and/path/of/your/site’);
of course I put in my site path. That restored my website but no images and still not able to log in to the admin panel. So I inspected the site and noticed that the images are still being called from the domain name that I added when I used this plug-in. My questions is where do I go to find the html coding to change the path to the original?

If using PHP7 the plugin does not work due to using a removed function mysql_connect().
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect()
[...]
thrown in /home/maciek/domains/kochajmnieczule.pl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/automatic-domain-changer/auto-domain-change.php on line 256
Could you please provide a version that works also in PHP7. Thank you.
]]>Hi, I am desperate about domain migration in WP.
Please give me instruction of using this plug-in:
I have been in lots of troubles using other plug-ins and I don’t want to go that way again because I should pay penalty in that case. so please let me know where should I start and what result I should expect.
here is what I am trying to do:
developing domain of mine: xxxtest.com
to
live domain of mine: xxx.com
I have installed and activated the plug-in and I am wondering if I should start clicking the button “change the domain” of the plug-in and then change the DNS server or vise-versa?!
please give me full instruction and tips and tricks for preventing any error occurrence.
Thanks in advance.
Please fix this annoying warning when WordPress debugging is enabled.
PHP Notice: Undefined index: nonce in /var/www/extensions/automatic-domain-changer/auto-domain-change.php on line 68
Thanks
]]>Hi there
found and used the plugin – worked like a charm. Thanks for pointing out how to override siteurl and wp home via DEFINE statements!
found this:
if (($serialized) && (is_string($v))) {
// Reprocess in case of double serialize done by sketchy plugins
$v = $this->processValue();
} else { …..
and when running plugin I get an error since the method expects 3 arguments.
shoudl this not read
$v = $this->processValue($v, $old, $new);
?
]]>Love the plugin, and it works flawlessly for most sites.
However I’ve noticed that it breaks anything that has been created with the plugin “Global Content Blocks”. I’ve flagged this up with their developer and he says it’s a general WordPress issue.
Is there anything you can to either stop it working on GCB or to fix it specifically for that?
Thanks.
]]>Hi, how long does the plug-in take to work and do I need to manually move folders to the new domain? I started the plug-in about 20 min ago and my old site seems to have lost it’s CSS and images but the new site is not working yet. Any advice?
]]>I’m moving a WordPress installation from one folder into the root, can this plugin be used in the same way as a new domain?
]]>I ran the Automatic Domain Change plugin, and now I can’t log in to wordpress at all. I can’t access anything to change it back, I can’t access the phpadmin through my host at all as it doesn’t have that option, I have no idea how to access my page again. HELP!!!
]]>I’m about to give this a go on WordPress MU and wanted to see if it has been tested? I don’t have a development server running at the moment but plan to set one up if it hasn’t been tested on MU.
