Changing the URL for a WordPress multisite network

changing the URL for multisite network

Update database
Update wp-config.php
Update .htaccess (if needed, in case custom modifications were made to the file)

Update database table

There are various ways of doing this:

Change the URL from the site admin (will not update post content)
Do it manually by running SQL queries on the database (effective, but may cause issues with serialized data)
Use wp-cli to update the site URL (not sure how effective on multisite networks, also redundant as it will not update post content)
Use a search and replace tool to do a dry run and run SQL queries

Change URL from Admin

Change URL from the Dashboard > Settings first and see how/where it updates the values in the database. Another option is changing it via wp-cli
