$site_url doesn't update after changing OW_URL_HOME | Forum

Hey there. I moved domains for my site and therefore changed the config.php OW_URL_HOME setting to be the new url, but when the system sends out emails that have the key {$site_url} in them it defaults to the old url. Do I need to run something to update those keys?

I am about to do this in a about a week or so, i have done some prep work and it appears you prob need to do a search in the db for any of the old domain values and change them to the new value. From what i have read Oxwall is not quite there yet on making changing domains a simple thing, but one day im sure it will be.
Just export your db and then open it in programmers notepad or PN+ and do a search for your old domain and im sure you will see there are still values that exist.
Im sure you know to always clear your cache using dev_mode true or the cache exteme plugin on such a change as well...

Tylor Froese, {site_url] is pulled from config.php. So changing it there should be enough.
BUT, if notifications are old ( meaning that they were generated when old URL was in config.php), they will be linked to old domain name. Since once notification is generated it becomes a static content ( same thing with newsfeed items mentioned by Dave- they are static content).
Can you try testing with new notifications? Send mass mailing or friends request or private message to any user?
- provide screen shot of your config.php settings ( or send it as text)
- provide screen shot of the email with incorrect URL. Point our which links goes to wrong URL ( would be great if you can send this as text as well).
- if possible provide your new site URL .
