I always use the wp cli utility in cases like these, when I have command line access to the (current) web server. https://wp-cli.org/ https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/search-replace/ e.g. wp search-replace 'http://expired.com/my_wordpress_site' \ 'https://www.mywordpresssite.com' --dry-run --skip-columns=guid review the output, then remove the --dry-run option to actually update the database. The fact that wordpress still saves the site URL all over the place in the database is more than a little ridiculous. Hope that helps!
