 a big problem is facing everyone trying to move a site between two hosting
 or between two environments like (staging and production )
 the most frequent problem is the site URL and the internal links
 and if you have extensive databases it will be your nightmare
 so it creates issues and limits our flexibility

 so what I suggest is to set the site and home URLs from the wp-config.php
 file
 like
 define( 'SITEURL', 'https://mywebsite.com' );

 I know it is not very simple, especially with multi-sites but it deserves

 I also tried
 define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://example.com' );
 define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://example.com' );

 but if you don't have 'siteurl' option on your site it will give you
 'Error establishing a database connection in the front end
 and
 'One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be
 repaired.'

 which even not the clear error message
 die to
 wp-includes/functions.php => function is_blog_installed


 I can work on this point but before I spend time, I need approval from the
 WordPress team that they will accept such modification or that not be
 accepted
