<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>

Better Find and Replace – AI-Powered Suggestions


Big thanks to this plugin that allowed me to quickly rectify some URLs that needed changing after a wordpress host migration.From what I can see, other plugins have paywalled the full features of the "dry run" on database changes. They can do what they want. However, very grateful this plug "just worked". Thanks guys.


Big thanks
