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.
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 an WordPress.
The second is a full support for serialized data but there are a lot more features – find them!
Our goal with this plugin is to give you a good solution for both Developers and Users of WordPress.
Note: This plugin requires PHP 5.4 or higher to be activated.

Reviews
Super Fast and found all – Tested with others
Updated my email address in the database. Found them super fast and had a nice detail report of replacement. I tried another plugin and it took more time to find the changes and the counter was wrong. I gave this plugin 4 stars only because it put 5 “Search and Replace” in the WP Tools tab. I’m sure it is an easy fix in his code. I am using WP 4.9. Nice plugin for your migration checks and URL replacements. Good job !!
Excellent Plugin.
Good job guys.
No directions provided
There needs to be detailed directions provided. When I tried to change the database with the new secure website link, it would only allow me to export database. How the heck do I get the new database on host server? Have no idea and directions would be nice. Also being able to do this without exporting database would have been even better.
best for changing the domain name
easy to use, fast backup, very good job to move a wp site frome one place to another.
Back up gives certainty 😉
Thank You for a grate plugin! It works as expected! All done in seconds. I had maybe 300 posts but on dry works ware 1200 shown! I guess its all this saved versions of posts (revisions) which I hate 🙂 I would like to know how to stop this autosaving on each my movement…
Thanks!
Your plugin saved me much time updating text on my web site. I appreciate:
1. the database backup option,
2. the “dry run” option,
3. the details (for either dry run or real run), and
4. the simplicity of the interface.
Great job!
