holger, to wordpress German

A related question:

I just noticed that stuff on my blog (which was hosted on URLold and now is hosted on URLnew) still points to URLold.

A quick inspection has shown that this is not a cache issue. When I look into the database, I can see that Wordpress introduced hard links for images like URLold/path/to/whatever/foto.jpg and similar stuff for other content.

The probably dumbest solution would be to replace all appearances of URLold with URLnew using sed or just an editor but ... there must be a better way? They cannot make their users edit the data base when the site migrates from URLold to URLnew. Right?

RIGHT?

@holger A search and replace is in fact the solution. But you need to beware of URLs stored in serialized PHP arrays. Doing a simple search and replace will break them.

I would use WP-CLI’s search-replace command to do this safely.

I can’t believe how pervasive Ring doorbells have become. (Never mind all the other brands out there.)

They’re everywhere.

I don’t like it.

@casseagull I go for late night walks. The glowing doorbells in the dark - so ominous.

I understand having surveillance with porch thieves etc. but dear god, use something with local storage. Don’t send it to the cloud.

@Auxonic @casseagull Huh, I was just browsing through Ubiquiti's products last night. That's the same direction I'm thinking.
