## Descrición

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 “Replace With”.
 Common error example: Search For: http://web.
com/wordpress/ Replace With: http://neuweb.com/wordpress The url become something
like: http://neuweb.com/wordpresscontent/…

Correct “Replace with”:
 Search For: http://web.com/wordpress/ Replace With: http://
neuweb.com/wordpress/ The url become something like: http://neuweb.com/wordpress/
content/…

**We have implemented special features!**

The first one is “Replace a Domain / URL” 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 – check them out! 🙂

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.

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

 [Denny Müller](https://profiles.wordpress.org/redaquamedia/) 6 de Marzo, 2025

I have used this plugin several times for different webpages. Especially when the
webpage was moved to other domain. It works fine. Before replace, it’s possible 
to test and check the results. Hats down and thanks!

[Update 12/26/24] I tried using the bulk “CSV Format Search/Replace” feature, but
it seems only the latest replacement string is applied. I’ll now try another method,
such as using the WP-CLI.—This plugin is incredibly easy to use and the “CSV Format
Search/Replace” feature for bulk edits worked perfectly! Thank you to the developers
for creating such an awesome plugin! 😄

So useful and it is free – no “Pro” version to get the features. Thanks!

 [applicado](https://profiles.wordpress.org/applicado/) 6 de Xuño, 2024

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.
