 * Hello,
 * if I want to do a server switch with Page Builder, that does not work. Because
   I change the web address in the SQL file, also that of Page Builder, because 
   otherwise you would have to add each page.
 * Who can help?

 * Hi elaxel84,
 * We store page builder data in a serialized form which means you’ll need to use
   PHP to search and replace strings because a simple search and replace will break
   the character length values.
 * We recommend using [Velvet Blues Update URLs](https://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/)
   to repalce your old urls.
 * Please note that serialized data is very common in WordPress so ideally you should
   never manually replace data using a search and replace as it could very well 
   incorrectly edit seralized data. Does that make sense?

 * Many Thanks. That’s exactly what I was looking for.
