[wp-hackers] Why hard-code the base URL (and directory)?

[Braydon]

Hydrostarr,

To migrate a site from one domain to another, the best way is to search 
and replace the domain and take care of it all at once, a script could 
easily automate this process:

mysqldump -u youruser -p yourdatabase > database-2012-3-12.sql

sed -i 's/olddomain\.com/newdomain\.com/g' database-2012-3-12.sql

mysql -u youruser -p yourdatabase < database-2012-3-12.sql
