Search & Replace Everything Pro

Manage WordPress content in one place

Search & Replace Everything Pro is a WordPress administration tool for finding and replacing text, links, images, and media across a website. It is useful for website migrations, content updates, picture management, and media changes that would otherwise require repeated manual editing.

The extension provides an interface for performing find-and-replace operations across the database. You can select specific tables, control case sensitivity, and preview proposed changes before applying them. Serialized data is supported, helping the search-and-replace process handle data stored in serialized formats.

Pro capabilities

The Pro version includes advanced workflow options to the features available in the base plugin. These include the ability to undo Search & Replace operations and replace images directly from the Gutenberg editor.

Undo support is useful when you need to reverse a completed replacement operation. Gutenberg image replacement provides a direct way to update images while working in the block editor, rather than relying only on the main administration interface.

Text and database replacements

Use text replacement to update content across multiple database tables. This can help with changing old information, updating URLs during a migration, or making broad content changes across posts, pages, and custom post types.

Table selection lets you limit an operation to the areas that require attention. Case-sensitive search options provide additional control when capitalization matters. Before committing a change, execute a preview to review the expected results. This dry-run step helps identify unintended matches before the database is modified.

When replacing text, check for partial matches. A short term may also appear inside other words, so a replacement intended for one word could affect related strings. For URL updates, use the same format for both the search and replacement values, including whether a trailing slash is present.

Image and media management

The plugin can replace images from the media library and automatically regenerate thumbnails to maintain visual consistency. It can also manage and replace media files in various formats across the website. These tools are practical when an outdated image needs to be replaced without creating duplicate uploads or when media files must be updated throughout a site.

Common workflows

• Site migrations: update URLs or other site data when moving a website.
• Content updates: replace outdated information across posts, pages, and custom post types.
• Image management: replace an existing image and regenerate its thumbnails.
• Media updates: replace media files in various formats across the site.

Installation and use

After installing Search & Replace Everything by WPCode, open the plugin from the WordPress administration area. Enter the text or media replacement you need, select the relevant database tables when working with text, and review the preview before applying changes. For image workflows, use the media library or the Gutenberg editor according to the task. Back up the database before making replacements, particularly when changing URLs or large amounts of content.
