So ...
First of all, I strongly recommend you to create a full backup of your site! This will allow you to easily revert the changes if something goes wrong ...
With that having said, let's get our hands dirty ...
Yes, once again, we are going to use a handy plugin. It's a tiny (28 KB) plugin called Velvet Blues Update URLs.
Here it is:

So let's see the usual speed tests ...
Here are my results before installing the plugin ...
... and the result after installing and activating the plugin:
No, it's not a mistake! I got the same result ...
So ... Let's see how it works ...

Hi Zed,
This training comes at the right time. I was thinking is this will work in my situation.
I have two sites (say A and B) almost in the same niche and I thought of moving some of the articles from A site to B site as I think the posts are more relevant to the second site.
My questions:
1) Would the above works using the plugin?
2) Since the article has been indexed on the first site, when I move it to the second site, would it effect the indexed status?
3) If someone clicks on the old url of the article somewhere on the internet (Google search, social media sharing etc), would the plugin redirect the person to the new url.
Thanks for the great tutorial and thank you in advance for the answers.

Hi Joe,
So ...
1. The plugin doesn't have a "selective" targeting option that will allow you to target specific posts (those moved). But I assume that it should work in a similar manner ... If the URLs are correct (the old posts on site B) they won't be affected, and the "incorrect" URLs (those moved from site A) will be adjusted ... However you should make a full backup on both sites :)
2. Yes. A different domain name is a different entity and that means different rankings. The "new" posts on site B needs to indexed again ...
3. No. The plugin will update your links site-wide on site B, but your already shared URLs (that are connected to site A) that are stored on external third-party servers (social platforms, etc) won't (can't) be affected ...

Lol. Ha. Do not mention it and no need, Zed. Probably a cup of tea when we meet at Las Vegas but gimme some time as I’m still very new now and you may have to wait for quite some time. Ha :o)

Deal! So stress. Ha. Ok, I need to work very hard while balancing on my job search right now.. It can be one to two years for me to achieve my dream and earn big bucks from affiliate marketing, before I turn 50. Good night and good evening to you, Zed :o)
