Handy Shortcuts

Search & Replace Database

### Remove "dry-run" to write the changes to the DB! 
### Run "wp db export" to back up DB first!

DO NOT BLINDLY COPY AND PASTE THESE, CHANGE THE DIRECTORY PATHS IN THEM FIRST!

# Standard WP Single Sites
wp search-replace "//local.dev/clients/drawcard/www" "//example.com" --recurse-objects --skip-columns=guid --dry-run
wp search-replace "/var/www/public/clients/drawcard/www" "/home/useraccount/public_html" --recurse-objects --skip-columns=guid --dry-run

# Network / Multisites
wp search-replace --url=http://local.dev/clients/drawcard/www "//local.dev/clients/drawcard/www" "//example.com" --recurse-objects --network --skip-columns=guid --dry-run
wp search-replace --url=http://local.dev/clients/drawcard/www "/home/useraccount/public_html" "//example.com" --recurse-objects --network --skip-columns=guid --dry-run

Fix permissions in Wordpress directory (eg. if you get 403 Forbidden notices)
