Replacely is an administration tool that lets WordPress site owners and developers safely find and replace exact text inside post, page, custom-post-type, and Elementor content across a curated list of URLs or paths.
Unlike search-and-replace tools that scan the whole database blindly, this plugin operates surgically: you provide the list of URLs you want to touch, the exact text to find, and the exact text to replace it with. Nothing else is modified.
<h4>Highlights</h4>
<ul>
<li>Exact, case-sensitive matching. No regex surprises.</li>
<li>Accept full URLs (e.g. <code>https://example.com/sample-page/</code>) and relative paths (e.g. <code>/sample-page/</code>).</li>
<li>Detect target post automatically via <code>url_to_postid()</code>, supporting any registered post type.</li>
<li>Elementor-aware: also replaces text inside Elementor page content (<code>_elementor_data</code>) and refreshes Elementor’s CSS cache afterward.</li>
<li>Dry Run mode shows what would change before any database write.</li>
<li>Results dashboard with summary tiles, detailed table, status colors, dashicons, and replacement counts split by source (classic content vs. Elementor).</li>
<li>One-click CSV export and Copy results to clipboard.</li>
<li>Persistent activity log of every live replacement (page, post type, replacement count, user, timestamp, View/Edit links). Keeps the 200 most recent updates and can be cleared anytime. Dry runs are never logged.</li>
<li>Hardened security: capability checks, nonces, sanitisation, escaping, direct-access protection.</li>
<li>Skips revisions, auto-drafts, and trashed posts. Duplicate URLs are processed only once.</li>
<li>Clean uninstall: deleting the plugin removes all of its data (activity-log option and per-user transients) from the database, multisite-aware. Your content changes are kept.</li>
<li>Translation-ready.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Built for reliability</h4>
<ul>
<li>Object-oriented architecture with namespaced classes.</li>
<li>Modular file structure: bootstrap, plugin container, admin page, replacer service, helper utilities.</li>
<li>Polished, responsive admin UI that complements the native WordPress design language.</li>
</ul>

This plugin allows you to dynamically (i.e. at the time when a page is generated) replace code and text from themes and other plugins with code and text of your choosing before a page is delivered to a user’s browser.
Because the find and replace happens in real-time no changes are needed to plugins or themes which means upgrades remain easy!
A <a href="https://infolific.com/technology/software-worth-using/real-time-find-and-replace-for-wordpress/#pro-version" rel="nofollow ugc">pro version</a> (a lifetime license is less than $15) with additional filtering options, setting export/import functionality, and the ability to modify admin pages is available.
Here are some common uses:
<ol>
<li>Want to selectively translate text that is being output by another plugin? You can do that.</li>
<li>Trying to tweak the text on a product or shopping cart page? No problem.</li>
<li>Hoping to remove footer text from a theme without modifying the theme? That’s easy.</li>
</ol>

Remember, all of the above can be done WITHOUT modifying themes or plugin files so you’ll always be able to upgrade them without having to worry about losing custom edits.

Real-Time Find and Replace


Works realtime and can parse regex



Handy note:use / or ~ start AND end, use \1 \2 etc to replace with the ( ) groups


Works as advertised

Set up find and replace rules that are executed AFTER a page is generated by WordPress, but BEFORE it is sent to a user's browser.
