**Search and replace URLs**

If you're moving a database from one domain to another, `wp search-replace` ([doc](https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/search-replace/)) makes it easy to update all URL references in your database.

To see which links will be replaced in your database, use the --dry-run flag:

```
wp search-replace 'http://oldsite.com' 'http://newsite.com' --dry-run
```

When ready to replace the links, run:

```
wp search-replace 'http://oldsite.com' 'http://newsite.com'
```
