see notes about migration and migration tools in the forum, your links and images in content are all hard coded so a script had to be ran to fix it up.

thx, but what images and content?

i did the migration before redirecting the domain, went flawlessly.
i disabled pretty urls before migrating, and then re-enabled after-- not sure if that's necessary.

thx!

in your pages they are hardcoded to full domain and path

hrm, i just deleted the files where the domain used to point. 

Now, some images are missing on the new site. 
ie, there are links pointing images in the old folder   Undecided

i installed GSCkeRelativeUrls, but that did not fix it. 


is your manual search-and-replace the only fix?


thx!

Note that "Fix Site URL" and other plugins do the replacements AFTER migrating (sorry, I read the thread subject too quickly)

if you have a text editor with a find and replace in files
replace all old url with new url in pages\ folder .xml files
