Used this plugin for literally years, but in the last few months, it has destroyed sites built with Beaver Builder consistently. Wish it still worked.

This plug-in saves me the trouble of using SQL to search and replace in MySQL database. Free version worked well for my use case. A reminder that the best practice is backing up the database before using anything like this.

Here is the thing.
I had changed my blog’s domain name and had issues with the images still on the old domain name. So, they were not loading. At all.
So, I went to ask uncle ChatGPT how to solve the issue. He told me I should try this plugin, and he was even generous enough to give me the instructions. In less than a minute, my issue was resolved.
5 stars from me.
Thanks.

I have been using this plugin for years but apparently forgot to write a review, while I’m always happy using it. It’s a very handy tool to replace a bunch or url’s

Maybe it is the free version, but it did not work for replacing a short code with a new one.

Seriously?! This really got me some headaches. You don’t seem to test your tool properly. Dry run is the default option, I love it! But also checking the box above (replace GUIDs) overrules this dry run option silently! It’s still checked, but the tool will change your actual database! Unacceptable.

Very useful when you need to edit the same text in a lot of posts. Thanks!

You need pay for use it.

Its a bait & switch. They say nothing in their “free” version description about there even being a paid version. All the free version will tell you is how many replacements will happen. But it won’t show you what they are. So its not safe to use, and their description is misleading.

This plugin gets the job done as described. The progress indicator bar is a good feature. Search result details are only available in paid version.

I am very pleased with this plugin. We are rebranding the site and Better Search Replace was able to replace the company name throughout all the posts that two other plugins had left behind. It saved me hours of work!

won’t let you see what tables will it change for free making dry run pointless.

We had an issue on a client’s website where, after migration, the photo paths and links still pointed to the old domain. We were able to replace the domains in the database within minutes. Highly recommended if used wisely.

Really useful.
For me it is a perfect tool for maintenance.

I feel misled as the ‘dry run’ option is NOT part of the free plugin but rather a paid option. Imho ‘dry run’ is essential in any search and replace plugin so advertising this plugin as ‘free’ is a bit misleading.
Technically this plugin is free but unusable (way to dangerous/powerful) as such.

I was going to try doing some search and replacements, and chose to do the ‘dry run’ first, but apparently you can’t view the results from the dry run, without upgrading to the paid version. This effectively makes it less than useless. I’m not going to run a search/replace on a table unless I can preview what’s going to be changed first.

This really make my life better. For real. Since I found this plugin al my migrations are FLAWLESS. So simple so good. Thanks a lot!!!

I really wish I had installed this plugin first instead of spending two hours trying to find the bad URLs in the database manually. I installed the plugin and ran a “Dry Run” (no changes) first to find the offending content. I run the search/replace again and it worked perfectly.

Excellent!

Worked perfectly for me. I did test it on a staging site, just to be sure and it worked great. Saved me updating 1060 instances of the text I needed to replace. That would have taken forever without this awesome plugin. Thanks to the developers!

Not working and damaged my database

Plugin works as expected (free version, haven’t used pro). Only frustration was it couldn’t seem to update some content inside a couple widgets in the footer. Needed to update url strings after migrating the site and the links in the widgets never got updated.

A simple replace of a single word in posts does not work as intended: all URLs that happen to contain the word are also changed, and for example e-mail addresses.
There should be a clear distinction as to what is being modified and options to include or exclude URLs for example. There should be warnings when high risk tables are being modified, such as wp_options.
There should be a distinction between replacing text in human/user readable content and essential system data.
