Site with Forum moved from development location to live - some URLs still pointing to old location

The site I've been developing complete with the Simple:Press Forum was moved last week to it's live location.

It was developed at http://web-right.com/emgsdev

The live site is at http://emgs.org

I used the Duplicator plugin to copy, move and install the site as it takes care of changes in serialised data.

However, I just discovered that all the link in Simple:Press are still pointing at to the development site ... the buttons, the forums etc.

I can't work out where I can change this - please advise.

Many thanks, David McCarthy

Go to the forum admin > Integration > Page and Permalink - and use the Update Forum permalink button in the middle of the form. That will update to the use the url as set in the WP Settings.

Obviously, if there are any topics that reference urls in posts then there is little we can do about those.

There are some places within the forum admin (like - for example - the Login and Registration admin panel) where urls might have been created that still reflect the old location. These odd ones will need a manual update.

And finally check Integration > Storage Locations to ensure that the folders have been copied across correctly and that the paths to these are correct.

Hi Andy

Many thanks for the super-quick response. I'd guessed it would be something simple and I had overlooked that setting. It all seems to be okay now.

I was beginning to panic as I'm going into hospital on Monday and will be out of action for some weeks - didn't want to leave the client without a working forum.

Many thanks again, regards, David

You're welcome. And I hope your hospital stay is not too painful...
