 * The default value in the Migrate DB find field is:
 * //www.sitename.com
 * which let’s assume is a non-ssl URL, so [http://www.sitename.com](http://www.sitename.com)
 * I’d like to replace with an SSL protocol URL, like [https://www.newsite.com](https://www.newsite.com)
 * But if I add [https://www.newsite.com](https://www.newsite.com) in the Replace
   input, the URLs throughout my db are replaced with something like this:
    http:
   [https://www.newsite.com](https://www.newsite.com) – which obviously breaks everything.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thank you!

 * Perfect, that did it. Just have to enter the full URLs on both ends. Thank you!
