Description

The plugin provides an optimized search and replace function, providing an effective solution for efficient database management. Additionally, it incorporates a dynamic real-time word / text replacing feature.

The real-time option employs a advanced word masking technique to search and replace text, url ( anything ), leaving no trace behind. The find and replace process takes place before the website is

or any other content within your website without touching the database with the help of an easy-to-use user interface.

How to replace in DB?

  • First create a report by selecting dry run from bottom of the setting section

  • On the report’s, if you think the replacement is perfect which you want, then close the report window and un-check the dry run and click the Find & Replace button.
  • Attention: Please check the report and make sure which data you are going to replace. It’s very important because once you replace it in the Database you can’t un-done it.
