Replace didn’t work

    I ran the plugin to replace a load of links in a lot of posts, changing one word in every link, but it hasn’t replaced them and now the dry run search finds nothing when I search the old word. What went wrong? Is it a cache thing? Will it take a while for the changes to show up in posts?

  • Hi there!

    Better Search Replace Support Team here, Thanks for reaching out with your query we would be happy to assist

    The replace should take effect instantly on your database. It’s possible that it’s a cache issue. If you have any caching plugins installed, kindly try clearing any cache on your site and check if that resolves the issue.

    If the issue persists, please provide a link to a post/page where the old link still exists. Kindly also provide the exact search and replace term you’re using for further investigation.

    We look forward to hearing back!

    Update: It does seem to have been a cache issue and took some time for the fix to show up.
