Migrate database
Wordpress stores url in database, some of them can be serialized so wa can't just replace them with a bash script.
The best and easier way is to use this project interconnectit/Search-Replace-DB :
- download it
- upload it to the wordpress root
- open a browser at the matching url
- fill the form to migrate your database
