Elementor is a popular visual editor for WordPress that allows you to design websites by dragging and dropping elements. Sometimes, you may need to **replace URLs** across your site for example, when migrating to a new domain or updating links. On **ruachost.com**, you can do this directly from the Elementor tools.

## Why Replace URLs?

- Update domain names after migration.
- Fix broken or outdated links.
- Ensure consistency across all Elementor‑based pages.
- Save time compared to manually editing each page.

## Steps to Replace URLs in Elementor

1. **Log in to WordPress** with an administrator account.
2. In the dashboard, go to **Elementor → Tools**.
3. Click the **Replace URL** tab.
4. Enter the following:

   - **Old URL** → The domain or link you want to replace.
   - **New URL** → The updated domain or link.
5. Click **Replace URL**.
6. Close the **General** tab, then click **Regenerate Files and Data**.
7. Finally, click **Save Changes**.
8. Go to **Settings → General** and confirm that the site URLs match the new domain.

✅ Elementor will now automatically update all references to the old URL across your WordPress site.

## Important Notes

- Always back up your site before running a bulk URL replacement.
- Test thoroughly to ensure all links work correctly.
- If you use caching plugins, clear the cache after making changes.
