My URL is being inserted before _every_ link.

  • Hello guys.

    THIS IS NOT A PERMALINK ISSUE.

    I changed something accidentally in my database that inserts the URL that I’m on into EVERY link of that page.

    For example, if I am on, “www.example.com/123” and had a link to “www.dictionary.com”, the link looks like, “www.example.com/123/www.dictionary.com”.

    Does anyone know where I can change this within my database? I use MySQL and have access to it.

    Thanks.

    Blessings,

    What did you change? Did you backup your database before making any changes?

    I downloaded a plugin that is named, “search and replace”, but instead of replacing “https” with “http”, it ADDED it to EACH url on my site.

    I don’t have a backup … lesson learned the hard way.

    So your urls are now httphttps://?

    Kind’ve.

    If I’m on “www.example.com” and I want to go to “www.example.com/about”, then the URL is, “www.example.com/www.example.com/about”.

    This goes for ANY link, even if its pointing to an image.

    Blessings,

    So the links in the database are all in the pattern of https://www.example.com/https:www.example.com? It’s important to get the pattern exactly right as I think you are going to need to run another search & replace.

    I’m not totally sure – where would I check?

    You need to look at a good cross-section of urls in the database itself.

    Do you know which WP section that would be under? Meta/option/posts?

    Off the top of my head, wp_posts and wp-options.
