hmm. actually no. Im referring to the site_ur and home options on the options table, as well as all the guid fields for all the attachments, the links to all the images inside all the posts, and other options that also store hard-coded full URLs... this is specially bad when moving the site from

I believe the hardcoded attachments are just incase your post gets harvested by one of those bot things so that attachment links still link back to your site correctly. As for any other reasons I'm stumped I agree it's a pain in the backside moving from test to production. I always used a find

I suppose the answer to all this is to make some sort of downloadable tool, not so much a plugin, that will go through the database in stages change all of the domains to what your specify. Don't ask me as it's way over my head, but I think that might be the best idea rather than some sort of
