What does the MHR WordPress Search & Replace plugin do?

Itu2019s a WordPress search-and-replace tool that can update content inside standard posts/pages and can also cover additional areas such as post meta and SEO-related meta fields, along with media/attachment records when supported by the current version.

Which parts of WordPress content can be replaced?

Depending on the selected target, it can replace text in post content, post meta, and SEO plugin meta fields (like stored title/meta description/custom fields). It can also handle media/attachment records and supports targeting by post type and content type.

Can I run search and replace on only specific items instead of everything?

Yes. The plugin supports selecting an individual item (such as a specific post/page/media record). It also includes improved item-level filtering and a clearer separation between u201call contentu201d mode and u201cselected itemu201d mode.

Does the plugin support custom post types and different content types?

Yes. There are dropdowns and targeting logic that allow you to select content type, including support for custom post types, with options to limit replacement by the selected content type.

How does the admin interface help when working with large websites?

The plugin includes an AJAX searchable selector for posts/pages/media, with live search by ID and title together. It also saves selected item IDs and can display selected item titles, improving usability on sites with many records.

Is there a report of what changed after replacement?

Yes. It includes a u201cchanged contentu201d report area showing which posts/pages (and related targets) were modified after the search-and-replace operation, along with improved result display over time.
