When importing a multisite export, domains are not replaced in wp_blogs

Issue Summary

Fix it does not replace the domain either. Only wp search-replace does the job.

Troubleshooting Questions

  • Does this happen for all sites in Local, or just one in particular?
    Any site that is exported as a sub-directory (assuming for subdomain too) site.

  • Are you able to create a new, plain WordPress site in Local and access it in a Browser?
    Yes

Replication

Create a multisite install, export it, and import it with a different domain. In wp_blogs the old domain exists. Try fix it. Won’t work.

System Details

I’ve seen this too over the past many months. I’ve taken to just manually updating the rows in wp_blogs when I have to. But it is annoying. I haven’t had the occasion to try this on my live sites. It may well be a failing of the WP-CLI and not Local.
