What the author says it does

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.

Where this page's numbers come from

Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
