    I like the fact that WP 2.5 allows you to import images attached to posts that are being imported via an XML export I’ve done earlier from my previous version. There is a big flaw, however…

    Once you changed the WordPress Address in the Settings panel, it won’t affect the Media Library like it did on importation. I’m stuck with 300+ posts that include renamed images linked that I have to manually rename back.

    This sucks.

    Fortunatley, I have a friend that is comfortable with MySQL command, so he help me out by suggesting this command below:

    update $tablename set $field=replace( $field, '/oldfolder/' , '/newfolder/')

    Of course I needed to do this for 3 tables, which were wp_options, wp_postmeta and wp_posts, but it worked!

    Would you be able to take me through the steps of doing this please? Sorry, I find MySQL and WordPress combined difficult to understand.

    Thanks
