When moving your WordPress site to a new domain or server, you will likely run into a need to run a search/replace on the database for everything to work correctly. Fortunately, there are several plugins available for this task, however, all have a different approach to a few key features. This plugin consolidates the best features from these plugins, incorporating the following features in one simple plugin:

Serialization support for all tables
The ability to select specific tables
The ability to run a “dry run” to see how many fields will be updated
No server requirements aside from a running installation of WordPress
WordPress Multisite support

Time-saving features available in the Pro version:

View exactly what changed during a search/replace

Backup and import the database while running a search/replace

Priority email support from the developer of the plugin

Save or load custom profiles for quickly repeating a search/replace in the future

Support and updates for 1 year

Часті питання

Using Better Search Replace

Once activated, Better Search Replace will add a page under the “Tools” menu page in your WordPress admin.

Is my host supported?

Yes! This plugin should be compatible with any host.

Can I damage my site with this plugin?

Yes! Entering a wrong search or replace string could damage your database. Because of this, it is always adviseable to have a backup of your database before using this plugin.

How does this work on WordPress Multisite?

When running this plugin on a WordPress Multisite installation, it will only be loaded and visible for Network admins. Network admins can go to the dashboard of any subsite to run a search/replace on just the tables for that subsite, or go to the dashboard of the main/base site to run a search/replace on all tables.

How can I use this plugin when changing URLs?

If you’re moving your site from one server to another and changing the URL of your WordPress installation, the approach below allows you to do so easily without affecting the old site:

Backup the database on your current site
Install the database on your new host
On the new host, define the new site URL in the wp-config.php file, as shown here
Log in at your new admin URL and run Better Search Replace on the old site URL for the new site URL
Delete the site_url constant you added to wp-config.php. You may also need to regenerate your .htaccess by going to Settings -> Permalinks and saving the settings.

I have try this first time. its very nice plugin for replacing content and within one lcick in my website.

I always had issues with it taking multiple attempts to get changes to take effect using this plugin in the past. But after 10+ tries on a website today it no longer seems to work. First it couldn't find any changes to make, then when it did and said they were complete no changes have taken place. Don't waste your time.

Good job destroying plugin with insane greed that is beyond EA Games, you could have made it a 19-20 USD checkbox, but 100 USD for the cheapest one site plan just to preview changes AND without lifetime updates? Holy cow, you are insane

too bad, the open source idea is gone. The free version of the plugin is now useless. To get the old functions back, you now have to pay a lot of money 🙁

The plugin was good before, but now it lacks a lot of the functionality.
