Failed Importing content

Hello everyone,

After switching my old domain from → jeremyvincent.be

To → blog-jeremyvincent.fr

I wanted to change all the internal links URL to make it clean as an SEO pov.

So, I downloaded my content with universal content in Labs.

Then, I did Ctrl H with “jeremyvincent.be” and…
Replace it by “blog-jeremyvincent.be”.

So far so bad, it erased all my metas :cold_sweat:
And it did not do the job for all the links, neither.

i am wondering 2 things :

  1. How can I spread this update to all the links ?
  2. Are there some stuff that have been changed but still not aware of it ?

Thank you so much for the help :slight_smile:

Ghost shouldn’t be storing the configured URL anywhere in the database, instead it should be stored as __GHOST_URL__ and transformed dynamically. That allows you to change the url value in your config file and have everything just work without needing to mess with any manual replacement steps.

What steps did you take when switching domain?

Hello Kevin,

Thanks for the reply :slight_smile:
Actually, I found a solution :

  • My content was duplicated and I found back my metas.
  • The internals links did not work only those inside the callouts.
