Can’t replace URL containing #

Hi @mofojofo!

Better Search Replace Support Team here. Thanks for reaching out with your query! We would be happy to assist.

We checked this page: https://loveweddingphotosandfilm.co.uk/wedding-photographer-videographer-combined-pricing/

And it seems we can no longer find the old URL. Can you kindly confirm if this is already fixed?

Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. I did fix this by installing another plugin and it made the change, as I had many internal links needing changed and needed it done ASAP.

I still have your plugin installed and still wish to use this as it usually works just fine, but it was frustrating that it didn’t seem to like handling a URL with containing the # character.

What could be the problem?

Hi @mofojofo,

I see, unfortunately, I am unable to replicate this issue on my local environment. I even tried using the values that you were trying to use –

Search for: https://loveweddingphotosandfilm.co.uk/#Questions-To-Ask-A-Wedding-Photographer

Replace with: https://loveweddingphotosandfilm.co.uk/questions-to-ask-a-wedding-photographer/

And the plugin was able to edit it in a test page. Could you please try creating a test page in your site, and try the ‘Search and Replace’ process again in the said page. And kindly tell us if you are able to consistently reproduce the issue.

Looking forward to your response,
Thank you.
