<h4>Powerful Search & Replace for WordPress</h4>

<p>With an intuitive interface, you can perform detailed find and replace operations across your entire database. Select specific tables, toggle case sensitivity, and preview changes before committing. Serialized data is fully supported. Designed to handle large websites, this plugin operates smoothly without the need for external tools.</p>
<h4>Features Include</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Text Replacement</strong> – Find and replace text across multiple database tables with support for serialized data and options for case-sensitive search.</li>
<li><strong>Replace Image</strong> – Directly replace images from the media library, automatically regenerating thumbnails to ensure visual consistency.</li>
<li><strong>Replace Media</strong> – Manage and replace media files of various formats across your entire site.</li>

<h4>Use Cases</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Site Migrations</strong> – Quickly update URLs or any site data when moving your site.</li>
<li><strong>Content Updates</strong> – Easily replace outdated information or bulk update content across posts, pages, and custom post types.</li>
<li><strong>Image Management</strong> – Replace outdated images and avoid duplicate uploads.</li>
<li><strong>Media Updates</strong> – Replace media files in any format across your site.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Tips for Using Search & Replace</h4>
<p><strong>Backup Your Database</strong> – While the plugin is safe to use, it’s always a good idea to make a backup before making changes.</p>
<p>Common mistakes to avoid when replacing text:</p>
<ul>
<li>Partial Matches – Ensure that you’re not replacing partial matches that could affect unintended content. For example, replacing “cat” could affect “category” or “concatenate”.</li>
<li>Case Sensitivity – Be mindful of case sensitivity when replacing text. If you’re looking to replace “Cat” with “Dog”, ensure that you’re not affecting “cat” or “CAT”.</li>
<li>URL Replacements – Always use the same format for both the search and replace values. For example if your search term has a trailing slash, ensure that the replacement term also has a trailing slash. E.g., “example.com/” to “example.net/” instead of “example.com/” to “example.net”.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Getting Started</h4>
<p>After installing Search & Replace Everything by WPCode, look for the new menu item under <code>WP Admin > Tools > WP Search & Replace</code>. From there, you can start managing your content and perform find and replace operations for text or images across your entire website.</p>

<h3>How to replace in DB?</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Start by generating a report</strong>: Select the <strong>Dry Run</strong> option located at the bottom of the settings section.</li>
<li><strong>Review the report</strong>: A modal window will appear, showing the specific rows and data that will be affected by the replacement.</li>
<li><strong>Proceed if satisfied</strong>: If the preview looks accurate and matches what you intend to replace, simply close the report window, uncheck <strong>Dry Run</strong>, and click the <strong>Find & Replace</strong> button.</li>
<li><strong>⚠️ Attention:</strong> Please carefully review the dry run report before making any changes. Once replacements are applied to the database, they <strong>cannot be undone</strong>. The PRO version includes an undo feature, but it must be installed before performing the replacement.</li>
<li><strong>✅ Important Tip:</strong> Always run a dry report first to ensure your search term and replacement are correct. If anything looks off, adjust the keyword and repeat the process until the preview shows the desired results.</li>
