Description

Find And Replace Text plugin allows you to install a find & replace button to your WordPress Editor.

It supports batch finding and replacing string when you edit your posts either in TinyMCE visual or text mode.

Please note the plugin in TinyMCE visual mode also find and replace string in raw file. Which means that you should make sure there are not HTML tag to find and replace.

For example, if you find and replace “href” to “something else” in Visual mode. The plugin also change every “href” to “something else” if the HTML codes have links with “href” even you can not see the “href” string on the visual mode screen.

So please make sure that you are not replacing HTML tags in Visual mode. Or you can start from Text mode.

Remember saving your post before your find and replace anything. So even you make something mess you can always get revisions back.

  1. Go to the Add New plugins screen in your WordPress Dashboard
  2. Click the upload tab
  3. Browse for the plugin file (find-and-replace-text.zip) on your computer
  4. Click “Install Now” and then hit the activate button

Don’t worry. You can always press Ctrl-Z in TinyMCE visual mode to undo your replacement.

This makes some of our page update chores much easier, in a way that "database find and replace" plug-ins can't, especially thanks to its ability to find-and-replace within HTML tags. This plug-in is really worth keeping up to date! I'm using it with WP 5.8.1 (using the Classic Editor) with no problem. Hopefully, the code is simple enough that it will keep working for a long, long time.

This is great plugin. Please, keep updating it!
