Search & Replace

Description

With Search & Replace you can search for everything and replace this with everything but before you do this you can easily create a simple database backup and restore it.

For avoiding problem please keep in mind that this plugin search and replace strictly what is specified in โ€œReplace Withโ€.
Common error example:
Search For: http://web.com/wordpress/
Replace With: http://neuweb.com/wordpress
The url become something like: http://neuweb.com/wordpresscontent/โ€ฆ

Correct โ€œReplace withโ€:
Search For: http://web.com/wordpress/
Replace With: http://neuweb.com/wordpress/
The url become something like: http://neuweb.com/wordpress/content/โ€ฆ

We have implemented special features!

The first one is โ€œReplace a Domain / URLโ€ that is useful for a quick and simple transfer or a migration of a WordPress site.
The second feature is full support for serialized data. There are a lot more features โ€“ check them out! ๐Ÿ™‚

Our goal with this plugin is to give you a good solution for manipulating your data for both Developers and Users of WordPress.

Note: This plugin requires PHP 5.6 or higher to be activated.

Reviews

I changed my url, 12 tables with 58 entries . While not a big site, but it was nice. it says not tested in the last 3 versions of WP. Welp, it works in php8.2x and WP 6.8.2
I have used this plugin several times for different webpages. Especially when the webpage was moved to other domain. It works fine. Before replace, itโ€™s possible to test and check the results. Hats down and thanks!
[Update 12/26/24] I tried using the bulk โ€œCSV Format Search/Replaceโ€ feature, but it seems only the latest replacement string is applied. Iโ€™ll now try another method, such as using the WP-CLI.โ€”This plugin is incredibly easy to use and the โ€œCSV Format Search/Replaceโ€ feature for bulk edits worked perfectly! Thank you to the developers for creating such an awesome plugin! ๐Ÿ˜„
So useful and it is free โ€“ no โ€œProโ€ version to get the features. Thanks!
plugin searches and replaces character string and creates a new database, which you need to download, then import. The database that plugin created could not be imported by plugin. Message says that the file is not a valid sql file. Kinda dumb workflow, but not being able to import a sql file that was created by plugin is ridiculous
When selecting many tables for the search, I often got errors. Another similar plugin doing the exact job did not give me errors.
