This is also useful if you rename your virtual host, then wonder why WordPress isn't working anymore!

  1. Download interconnectit/Search-Replace-DB
  2. Extract to a folder within your WordPress installation
  3. Point a browser at the local folder URL
  4. The program will automatically the database details stored in wp-config.php
  5. Replace old.virtualhost.name with new.virtualhost.name

Note: for deployment to a remote host, use UpdraftPlus instead.
