http to https change in posts

    We have a core site with the WordPress application in a folder on that core site. We are currently trying to reduce the number of redirects

    We want to change links within posts from http to https. Those links are some that were inserted long before the https switch happened; hence the http. We do have the redirect for http to https sitewide.

    When I try to find/replace in Replace in Database, it returns 0 results. I then view source of one of the pages, which I know has the offending URL as http in the page code, and see that http URL there. Why 0 results? I am apparently missing something.

    1. Find field – the http URL
    2. Replace field – the update URL
    3. Where to Find = Database Tables
    4. Select Tables = wp_post.
    5. No other options checked on the screen (except for dry run as a cautionary).

    Your help is appreciated.

    Okay, an update to my post. I just realized that most of the http URLs are changing to https. I am changing each of the instances individually.

    The problem seems to be coming when I try to update URLs with different characters, such as those containing ampersands, equal or plus signs, question marks, ect. Should I be finding these URLs a different way in order to replace them?

    Sorry for being confusing.

    Hello @jsd22
    Thank you for contacting us. To find them, you’ll need to use various methods. Specifically, if you come across ampersands, equal signs, or plus signs, utilize these symbols to identify the URL.

    Thanks
