Manage outdated WordPress URLs
Update URLS PRO is a paid edition for changing old URLs and links across a WordPress website. It is especially useful after moving a site to a new domain, when internal links, page references, or image references may still point to the previous domain. The plugin provides tools for more controlled database search and replace operations.
The workflow is designed for developers, agencies, and site owners who need to update relevant website data without making unnecessary changes. Instead of treating every database table or result in the same way, PRO lets you define what to search, preview possible changes, and decide which results to apply.
Choose where changes happen
With Update URLS PRO, you can select specific WordPress database tables for a search and replace operation. This helps keep the task focused on the areas that matter for your URL update. The underlying URL update workflow also supports links embedded in content, excerpts, and custom fields, along with a choice about whether to update attachment references.
After an operation, you can view how many items were updated. This gives you a practical way to review the scale of the work and confirm what the process changed.
Preview and apply results selectively
The Dry Run feature lets you preview changes before applying them. This provides an opportunity to inspect the expected results and identify issues before the database is modified. Once the dry run is complete, you can apply all changes or selectively execute specific search and replace results.
This approach is useful for domain migrations, development workflows, and recurring maintenance tasks where precision matters. It also gives teams a clearer process for reviewing a proposed update before proceeding.
Export, history, and rollback tools
PRO includes one-click database export and import tools. These features can be used as part of a workflow that includes backing up before database changes and restoring database data when required.
Complete search and replace history keeps a record of operations performed. You can review detailed history logs to monitor changes and maintain accountability. If an operation needs to be reversed, the one-click undo feature provides a way to roll back a search and replace operation.
Reuse recurring workflows
When you repeat similar search and replace tasks, custom profiles can save time. Save a configuration as a profile and load it again when the same type of operation is needed. This is useful for routine site maintenance or repeated URL update work across projects.
Installation and use
Download Update URLS PRO and install it on the WordPress website where URL changes are required. Open the plugin’s tools, choose the tables and content areas relevant to the task, and enter the old and replacement URLs. Run a Dry Run first, review the results, then apply all or selected changes. Use export and import, history, profiles, or rollback tools as appropriate for your workflow.
PRO also includes priority email support and updates for users who need continued assistance with the plugin.
