Search & Replace Everything – Quick and Easy Way to Find and Replace Text, Links

We used to use the Velvet one but it seems to have been abandoned. Glad to see that they took over development.

We tried this one on a few websites and it has changed the URLs successfully. Saved us lots of time. Tested the websites after and they're fine.

Works well


I come from Velvet Blues plugin that used to do the same job, but abandoned with a serious security flaw (and ultimately banned from downloaded again from wp.org). I was looking for that plugin and found your fork. Thanks again for keeping it up-to-date.


Thanks for keeping it updated

Quick and Easy way to search all URLS, Content and replace them with new links and content in WordPress website.
