WordPress Database Search & Replace plugin 0.2.0
Description
The WordPress Database Search & Replace plugin helps you find and update any exact text value stored in your WordPress database. With case-sensitive search, you can target the precise string you need without accidentally changing similar terms. It’s useful when you’re migrating content, fixing legacy references, or applying a consistent update across posts, options, and metadata. Instead of relying on manual edits or fragile scripts, this plugin provides a straightforward workflow with a safe dry-run mode.
Designed for common WordPress admin tasks, it supports careful changes you can verify before they’re applied. Whether you work in WooCommerce-related settings, customize theme behavior, or adjust data created by plugins and template kits, it helps you keep updates accurate and consistent.
