Where are links stored?

When moving site from staging to production a lot of the links are still the staging url. I've read that hyper links may not migrate using your product. Where in the database are these links stored? I'd like a simple way to search and replace.

thanks

  Hi Ryan,

  Thank you for reaching out to us.

  To safely migrate your site from staging to production, you can consider using a backup/migration plugin such as All-in-One WP Migration and Backup. For a more detailed tutorial, please refer to this link:  https://youtu.be/tIurrwfsCOg

  I have used this plugin extensively, and it should not break your site after it has been migrated.

  If you have any further questions, please let us know.

  Best regards,
  Ariel H.

  Hi Ariel,
  
  These migrations are being handled by our web host (WPEngine) and handling an additional migration ourselves with another plugin isn't the best solution for our workflow. 
  
  Could you please just let me know where these links are being stored so I could try and find a simple search and replace solution post-migrate?
  
  thanks

  Hi Ryan,

  Please try using the Replace URL tool and see if this helps.

  

  Best regards,

  We got a fatal error last time we attempted to use that tool and are gun shy about attempting again.
  
  Is there a reason you won't share where in the db I can find where these links are being stored?

  Hi Ryan,

  Brizy stores links within the wp_options, wp wp_posts and wp_postmeta tables.

  Best regards,
