    The URL change function has been changed to a paid service.

    This is a very big change.

    I no longer have any reason to use it.

    Hi @koandi,

    That is simply not true. The URL and Path values were removed from 2.6.0 but will be returning in 2.6.2, which is scheduled for release next week. The ability to change a URL is not a paid service. In fact, the URL can still be changed using the Find & Replace functionality today. The difference you are noticing is that the URL field is no longer pre-populated for you.

    You can read the full discussion about why the fields were removed in this support thread, but in short, we removed the fields because many import tools, such as Local and WP Migrate, handle the URL and Path updates for you when importing the database. However, we realize that this was a misstep and that there are other workflows that depend on these fields.

    So we will be bringing back the URL and Path fields for exports in 2.6.2.

    In the meantime, you can download an older version of WP Migrate Lite 2.5.0 from this page if you need those fields back today: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/advanced/

    I wanted to follow up and let you know that the URL and Path fields are once again available in WP Migrate 2.6.2 which was released earlier today. The screenshot below shows that these values are pre-populated with the current site’s details when beginning a new export.

    To clarify, this functionality was never part of a paid service. The fields were removed in 2.6.0 and are now restored in 2.6.2.
