Search & Replace text and images across your entire WordPress database with a simple, powerful interface.

== Description ==

= Powerful Search & Replace for WordPress =

Search & Replace Everything by WPCode enables you to efficiently manage your website's content directly from the WordPress admin. This tool is essential for site migrations, content updates, or any situation where batch text and image replacements are needed.

With an intuitive interface, you can perform detailed search and replace operations across your entire database. Select specific tables, toggle case sensitivity, and preview changes before committing. Designed to handle large websites, this plugin operates smoothly without the need for external tools.

= Features Include =

* **Text Replacement** - Search and replace text across multiple database tables with options for case-sensitive search.
* **Image Replacement** - Directly replace images from the media library, automatically regenerating thumbnails to ensure visual consistency.
* **Preview Changes** - Always see a "dry-run" preview of the changes to ensure accuracy before applying them.
* **Large Sites Supported** - Optimized for performance, capable of handling large databases efficiently.
* **Table Selection** - Choose specific tables to search and replace text, ensuring that only the necessary data is affected.

* **Site Migrations** - Quickly update URLs or any site data when moving your site.
* **Content Updates** - Easily replace outdated information or bulk update content across posts, pages, and custom post types.
* **Image Management** - Replace outdated images and avoid duplicate uploads.

= Tips for Using Search & Replace =

**Backup Your Database** - While the plugin is safe to use, it's always a good idea to make a backup before making changes.

Common mistakes to avoid when replacing text:

* Partial Matches - Ensure that you're not replacing partial matches that could affect unintended content. For example, replacing "cat" could affect "category" or "concatenate".
* Case Sensitivity - Be mindful of case sensitivity when replacing text. If you're looking to replace "Cat" with "Dog", ensure that you're not affecting "cat" or "CAT".
* URL Replacements - Always use the same format for both the search and replace values. For example if your search term has a trailing slash, ensure that the replacement term also has a trailing slash. E.g., "example.com/" to "example.net/" instead of "example.com/" to "example.net".
