In PHPMyAdmin, you can run this to update the database to it's new destination:

SET @oldsite='http://oldsite.com';
SET @newsite='http://newsite.com';
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, @oldsite, @newsite) WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl';
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, @oldsite, @newsite);
UPDATE wp_links SET link_url = replace(link_url, @oldsite, @newsite);
UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = replace(meta_value, @oldsite, @newsite);
UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, @oldsite, @newsite);


Don't forget to update the table names to match those in your database.

How To Run Chrome From Within Notepad++

If you have recently tried to Run  Chrome from within Notepad++ recently, you've probably encountered the same issue I did.  Chrome didn't run. The fix is actually really simple.  Open up the Run box in Notepad++ and browse to your installation of Chrome. ie.  C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe Select the file when you find it.  Now, the trick is: Put quotation marks around the path you see in the Run  box.  Now, put 1 space after the closing quotation mark. Type this: $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) It'll look something like this: Click Run .  If Chrome opens, click Save and set your hotkey.

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 412 - Fix

Recently, I ran into an issue with a Divi install I was running on a new server.  For whatever reason, it suddenly wasn't loading any of the scripts necessary. I tried rolling back the theme, but that didn't do anything.  I then tried re-installing Wordpress, but that didn't fix anything. A Google search led me to this article - https://wordpress.org/support/topic/failed-to-load-jquery-at-load-scripts-php/ Which led to this extremely quick fix: Try adding define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false); to your wp-config.php file just below the define('DB_HOST' line. After adding that to my wp-config file, everything worked as expected.
