I'm using XCloner to backup and clone a wordpress installation. All is working fine apart from once I have cloned the installation all the urls still refer to the old location. Shouldn't XCloner rename all the urls to the new location as part of the clone process? Please can you advise.

Yes, it does do this, please check your wp-config.php file and see if there are any references to the old url and delete them, only leave the new ones in place! Regards, Ovidiu

Hi, I did like you said and there were references to the old url and I replaced these in the config file but the image urls remained the same, is there a work around this?

For that, you will need to install and use a search and replace plugin for Wordpress, and replace the old url references from your database.

 

Hope it helps! Ovidiu
