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 “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 implements 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 5.6 or higher to be activated.
