Replace URLs in old content

Updated November 6, 2026Suggest an editView as Markdown

Replacing URLs is only needed if a theme or plugin saved full image addresses somewhere Offloft doesn't rewrite. Offloft normally changes addresses as pages are shown, so most sites never need this. The tool in Tools → Advanced searches posts, custom fields and settings, shows a preview first, and can undo.

Steps

  1. Open Offloft → Tools and find Replace URLs in database.
  2. Click Run a dry run. It's read-only, and shows how many addresses it found in posts, custom fields and site settings.
  3. Confirm you have a recent database backup. Offloft also saves the changed rows so you can undo.
  4. Click Replace URLs. It runs as a job that you can pause.

Undo

Click Undo from backup in the same place. It puts the saved values back, and leaves alone any value that has changed since.

Do this before you bring everything back and before you delete cloud copies, or those images would break.
