Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Moving WordPress to new URLHere are the routines I use to change the content. The fixData is called with the DB field I want to change, the old URL base and then new. It seems to work.
/********************************************************************** * This routine will test the target to see if it is serialized data, and it * it is it will unserialize the data, and if an array, will user fixElement * (recursively) to find and replace the old domain with the new one. It * will then serialize the new data and return it. * * If it is not a serialized string, it will just replace the strings and * return the new string. *********************************************************************/ function fixData ($target, $old_domain, $new_domain) { $ut = unserialize ($target); if ($ut === false) { $ut = str_replace ($old_domain, $new_domain, $target); } else { $ut = fixElement ($ut, $old_domain, $new_domain); $ut = serialize ($ut); } return $ut; } /********************************************************************** * This routine will accept an element that is eith an array or assumed to * be a string, and will replace the old domain with the new one.

In reply to: Moving WordPress to new URLAs often is the case, I found my error just after posting this.
Although the PHP documentation says that str_replace will work on arrays, it does not seem to. I replace that with a recursive routine that goes through the array elements and applies str_replace to non-array objects, hopefully strings. This does seem to work.
If anyone is interested, I would be glad to share the script.

In reply to: Akismet Update caused huge database size growth?Can someone tell me what the purpose of the akismet entries in the wp_commentmeta table serve? Is there any danger in deleting them if the referenced comment no longer exists in the wp_comments table?
