  1. Better Search Replace<\/a>\u00a0will assist with changing URLs or slugs etc in your database.<\/li>\n
  2. <\/i>It is also very helpful when changing your site from HTTP to HTTPS.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Changing slugs that have -1 appended<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Sometimes when you add a new location or category etc, the slug [part URL] might get a \u201c-1\u201d appended. For example\u00a0mysite.com\/location\/east-sussex-1\/<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n
    2. This happens because WP does not allow duplicate slugs, and there already is something else using the slug east-sussex<\/strong><\/em>.<\/li>\n
    3. This\u00a0can\u00a0be a tag, or a post name etc.<\/li>\n
    4. It can also still be in the database from an old plugin you deleted.<\/li>\n
    5. The solution is to search the database for the slug east-sussex<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0and change it to east-sussex<\/strong><\/em>-2<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n
    6. Then search for east-sussex<\/strong><\/em>-1<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0and replace all results (except the one you just changed) with east-sussex<\/strong><\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      First replace the “correct” slug in the database<\/h4>\n
        \n
      1. Go to your database using phpMyAdmin<\/strong><\/em>.<\/li>\n
      2. Search for the “correct” slug and replace it if required.<\/li>\n
      3. Go to the Search:
        \n\"\"\/<\/li>\n
      4. Search for east-sussex<\/strong><\/em>:
        \n\"\"<\/li>\n
      5. Review the results:
        \n\"\"<\/li>\n
      6. Adjust if you like by double clicking the field and changing the slug:
        \n\"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Using Better Search Replace<\/h4>\n
          \n
        1. After installing the\u00a0Better Search Replace<\/a>\u00a0plugin, go to Tools > Better Search Replace<\/strong><\/em>:
          \n\"\"<\/li>\n
        2. Let’s now search for the slug that we want to replace:
          \n\"\"<\/li>\n
        3. You can now review where the slugs will be replaced:
          \n\"\"<\/li>\n
        4. If all is OK, run the process, but un-tick the “Run as dry run<\/strong><\/em>” box.<\/li>\n
        5. Once that is done, re-save WP Settings > Permalinks<\/strong><\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
