  2. Modify the follwing database tables.

    • wp_options and wp_{blog_id}_options tables
      -- Change the fields site_url and home.

    • wp_blogs table
      -- Change the domain and path fields with the new values.

    • wp_site table
      -- Change the domain and path fields with the new values.

      -- Change the site_url field

  3. Use WP CLI's search and replace commands to replace the old values to new values.

    • Run search/replace operation but dont save in database
      $ wp search-replace 'SEARCH_VALUE' 'REPLACE_VALUE' --dry-run

    • Search and replace but skip one column
      $ wp search-replace 'http://example.com' 'http://example.com' --skip-columns=guid
