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>

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.
