Replace links is not working

John van Weelden's Avatar John van Weelden
I have installed DB replacer and I am trying to replace links from an older version of my website to the correct links.
When I search for the old link it will show me all records. When I replace it by the new link it will process correctly in DB replacer.

The old links are gone and replaced by the new links. However in de pages the old (wrong) links are still showed. See attached images

I have installed the last versions of DBREPLACER and Joomla 4.

If there are no more records found, then DB Replacer has done its job.

You probably have some caching going on.

Hi Peter,
Actually it didn't do its job.. I have checked the tables in PHP and the old values were still there. Ofcourse first step was to clear cache.

I have tried something else which just worked fine

Originally I tried to change
index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=620&catid=37/#hoofdstuk
to
index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=27&catid=9/#hoofdstuk

This however didn't work for unknown reasons.

just few minutes I tried to change
index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=620&catid=37
to
index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=27&catid=9

This somehow worked. For now my conclusion is that /#hoofdstuk is not processed well.

Anyways, Seems I have found a way to make it work.
