WordPress bundle Velvet Blues Update URLs

so if you’re looking for a WordPress plugin to update URLs across your website there’s one simple plug-in that I’ve been using for years that makes this whole process really simple so if you look down here in the bottom left corner I can see when I hover over the spot and it says forward slash get a quote and the rest of these just say for it’s a quote so let’s say your your old URL for your quote page used to be get a quote but when you change the url now this goes to 404 page well you might have that URL spread all over your website and it can be a pain to try to go find every place where that URL exist to instead all you can do is we’re going to redirect it to the new page using this tool called or this plug-in called velvet Blues so if you just search delta blues you’ll see spy velvet blues.com and then you’ll just activate it

and then you can go to tools update you are else and that’s going to pull up this simple page where you have above the space clear before and after auction so we’ll just find the quote you are out here

so we can see that the original was for S Dash a dash quote right and we want it to be just quote so if you put the the old URL and then the new URL in here and select all but this last one here

and click update urls

then we’re going to see it says it updated

in two places so now if I come back here and refresh this page

now you can see that this goes to the actual quote page so I updated that URL and it would update that URL across the entire website so if it was in blog posts and all in WordPress you can have a lot of different pages of posts and content out there with links in it so it’s going to update across the entire site this is also useful if for instance you are migrating from HTTP to https so this is just a the bear URL with the only difference here is that this one doesn’t have S in this one does

so this isn’t really going to do anything because all the all the URL Sherry be updated so you can see our something is wrong here you are also not been updated that’s because they’re already ate DPS but when you’re setting up an SSL certificate this is an easy way to make sure all of your URLs including image URLs and basically all the URLs on the entire website can be changed from HTTP to https just by simply putting those the old one in the new one in here selecting these four options and clicking update

so I hope you found that helpful for updating uur Elsa crossword press if there is anything that you had questions about don’t hesitate to reach out you can just drop your questions Down Below in the comments and I’ll be sure to get back to him there and until next time take care
