Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Go Live Update Urls

Under the Tools menu in the dashboard there will be a "Go Live" link.

Some plugins will store the serialized or JSON data in the database which does not allow for easy updating of the data. You may un-check tables used by such plugins and then update the urls manually for those plugins. Currently, the options, postmeta, usermeta, commentmeta, blogmeta, and sitemeta tables are serialization safe. The PRO Version supports updating all tables created by plugins, including ones with serialized or JSON data.

Most tables will be just fine to update. This plugin will tell you which tables not to update. If you wish to try to update tables mentioned as "not safe" anyway, you may: 1. Make a backup of your database. 2. Run the update with all tables checked. If you run into trouble: 1. Restore your database. 2. Un-check tables in sections. 3. Re-run this until you find the culprit. If you find you are running into issues with custom tables, you may want to check out the PRO Version of this plugin, which works with any table.
