About this plugin
FixelHub Find & Replace Pro searches and replaces text, URLs and HTML across your entire WordPress database — and shows you exactly what will change before it changes it.
Most find-and-replace tools run the query and hope. This one has a Dry Run mode that lists every match first, so you can check the result and back out if something looks wrong. That matters, because a bad replace on a live database is not something you can undo with Ctrl+Z.
It also understands the places where content actually hides in a modern WordPress site: custom fields, ACF, serialized options, and the JSON-escaped data that Elementor and other page builders write. A plain SQL replace corrupts serialized data and breaks those pages. This one handles them properly.
Features
- Search post content — posts, pages and custom post types
- Search post meta — custom fields and ACF
- Search Elementor and page builder data, including JSON-escaped content
- Search the options table — widgets, menus and theme settings
- Dry Run mode to preview every change before applying it
- Safe handling of serialized data
- Automatic cache clearing after a replacement
- Elementor CSS cache clearing
- Clean, modern interface
Useful for
- Updating URLs after a site migration
- Moving a site from HTTP to HTTPS
- Replacing old links with new ones
- Fixing broken links inside Elementor pages
- Bulk updating phone numbers, addresses or company names
- Changing a domain name across all content
Free, and staying free. No premium tier, no paid add-ons, no upsell screens in your dashboard.
