    Yes, you need to update the “bucket” in the “amazonS3_info” postmeta records. I’d recommend Better Search Replace, but I may be a little biased. ??

    FYI: If you’d been using the WP Offload S3 plugin and switched the bucket in its settings it would have offered to copy the files for you and properly updated the Media Library references.
