• I have a list of 500+ URLs that need to be searched and replaced
• This is a spreadsheet with two columns, the match URL and the replacement URL
• I've been using wp search-replace --all-tables 'foo' 'bar' to update most URLs
• However, I've noticed an issue with URLs that exist within ACF's "Link" field type. I think these URLs aren't being replaced because they are serialized
• I know interconnectit's Search-Replace-DB is usually suggested for more thorough search and replaces, although I don't see any option to bulk run this

Note to StackExchange mods - the ACF forum registration is not working at the moment so I cannot ask there.

I have not personally verified this but I had these two commands saved using WP-CLI which uses some clever regular expressions when I run into this scenario.
