Whitespace and double-quotes

    I’m trying to replace some plugin-generated shortcodes with my own shortcodes. If I search for the plugin-generated value, no results are found. If I search a term with no spaces/quotation marks, there are results (so the Better Search Replace plugin definitely does work). I’m guessing this is because the shortcodes I want to replace contain whitespace and double-quotes. Is there a way around this?

    Text to replace: [cf-shortcode plugin=”acf” field=”affiliate_link”]
    Replace with: [afflink]

    Hi,

    I tested quickly with the search/replace strings above and it’s working for me.

    One thing I noticed was

    [cf-shortcode plugin=”acf” field=”affiliate_link”]

    is different from:

    [cf-shortcode plugin=”acf” field=”affiliate_link”]

    See how the quotes are different- maybe that’s causing your issue?

    Ah, good catch! I copy/pasted the source text, it worked once I typed in the plain text.
