davidT-89	Background of the issue: I have a new large site (hidden link) with 2500 English posts and 3500 Spanish posts. My new site consolidates four different old sites (two English and two Spanish sites). Currently, Spanish content links look like this: calor. With my WPML setup, all Spanish content exists at the "/es/" subpath, so the location of that page on my new site is actually hidden link. Symptoms: I need to update URLs in Spanish posts to reflect the new "/es/" subpath structure. Questions: What is the route I should take to update those URLs? Should I run a find/replace query on my database to replace all occurrences of "es.beyondtype1.org" with "beyonddiabetes.com/es"? Does running a find/replace query cause issues using the "/es/" subpath since that is automatically generated by WPML?

Dražen Duvnjak Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+01:00)	Hello, thanks for contacting us. Yes, probably the best would be updating them via DB. It will not cause an issue for page content, since these links are hardcoded in post meta, so you need to update them either way like that or by re-translating pages and links inside them. For dynamic links, like menu items or similar, it will either way adjust or change automatically if you change / adjust your WPML language settings. Hope this helps. Regards, Drazen
