 * Hi Tobias,
 * Thx for your great plugin! We use it in several project and it works fine all
   time.
 * But now I have problem with updating from http to https. I installed the SSL-
   certificate and did all the settings in WP and our own theme templates. I downloaded
   a plugin to set all the http URL’s to https, but the URL’s in the tables are 
   still on http ;-(
 * If we use one table than there’s now problem to manually edit the URL’s, but 
   unfortunataly we us many more than one table (don’t ask me why ;-)).
 * So, my question is: is there any way to update all the url in the tables from
   http to https, besides export and import (because I saw you can only import one
   table at the time…)
 * Thx for your respons!
    Remco

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The reason why the automatic replacement was not done is that in JSON, the `/`
   in the URLs are escaped with an extra `\` in front of them.
 * I therefore suggest to repeat your search/replace with searching for
    `http:\/\/
   www.example.com` and replacing by `https:\/\/www.example.com`
 * (Exporting/importing multiple tables at once is actually possible, also using
   the JSON format, and to/from a ZIP file.)
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi,
 * Thx for your quick reaction!
    I’ve tried to do the recplacement with an extra\
 * recplace
    http:\/\/voorjedier.nl for https:\/\/voorjedier.nl
 * Unfortunately the plugin I use (Blue velvet Updates URL’S) gives an error and
   add an extra \ in the inputfield (ie https:\\/\\/voorjedier.nl…
 * Have you any other suggestions?
    Thx

 * Hi,
 * ah, that’s unfortunate. Then that plugin contains a coding error.
 * Your best chance is then do to this directly in the database, using a SQL search/
   replace plugin (or direct database query).
 * Regards,
    Tobias
