WordPress Search Replace Plugin

To speed up the administrators’ work, they have the ability to make permanent alterations to the database, either on specific pages or across the entire site which makes this plugin also a great Search Replace DB script.

Search and Replace Script on WordPress Custom Posts
Settings Screen Allowing targeting of Specific Posts and Post Elements |
The WordPress search and replace plugin functionality is ideal for quick changes of search and replace text and links with or without applying them to the WordPress database. You may also choose to save the changes to the database if you wish - on each page or across all sites. Our Search and Replace WordPress plugin allows you to mass replace text in WordPress as well as target specific posts by type or exclude posts or pages from being parsed. You can also target ACF records. |
Advanced WordPress Search and Replace Plugin Functionalities
|
Replace numbers, links, dates and IP addresses by using Regex (Regular Expressions). These rules allow the plugin to check advanced conditions before performing tasks. For instance, changing only numbers from '70 to 99', or image links with the name 'flower' on them. We provide links to resources containing examples and validators, simplifying the process of creating rules. |

Replace WordPress Content On the Fly Or Save Changes to Database
Example of the Front-end Button for Admin to Implement Permanent Changes to DB |
After creating a replacement rule in the WordPress Search and Replace plugin, it automatically changes the content only on the front-end, while the original text stays the same on the back-end. The plugin also allows you to implement permanent changes to the database. It means that the content will be changed in the original post, and not only on the front-end. |
Time Restricted Search And Replace
|
Define the date and time when the replacement rule should be achieved. You can define any number of timeframes for each rule. This functionality proves handy especially when you're not consistently replacing specific content. You can establish automatic replacements based on your preferred schedule. |
