## Beschrijving

#### Important Note

> This plugin is a fork of a [Velvet Blues Update URLS](https://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/#description).
> Since, Velvet Blues Update URLS plugin is not actively maintained and not tested
> with the latest version of WordPress, We decided to maintain and continue to improve.
> So, if you are already using Velvet Blues Update URLS plugin, simply download 
> this plugin and start using it.

If you move your WordPress website to a new domain name, you will find that internal
links to pages and references to images are not updated. Instead, these links and
references will point to your old domain name. This plugin fixes that problem by
helping you change old urls and links in your website.

### Features

 * 👉 Users can choose to update links embedded in content, excerpts, or custom 
   fields
 * 👉 Users can choose whether to update links for attachments
 * 👉 View how many items were updated

Felt compelled to leave a review and say thank you! Installed it, ran it and fixed
200+ links within less than a minute – and without you asking me to sign up, buy
premium or anything else. This is an almost forgotten value of the Wordpress community:
making things easy to help others. I’m really grateful, 10/10 plugin.

It’s very easy to use, fast and a pain-killer. It saves you a lot of time fixing
up broken links.
