Works But Limited

Used Better Search Replace while moving my site. It did the basic job fine & was easy to run. But some useful options are locked in Pro, which was a bit annoying. Still ok for quick replace tasks tho.

Works Pretty Well

Used it to update old URLs after site move. Did the job smooth, no big issue. UI is simple & easy to get. Saved a lot of time tbh. Would be 5 star if a bit faster on large DB, but still solid plugin �

Não utilize isso

Se você não quer passar raiva, fique longe deste plugin. Instalei para somente para alterar alguns links de saída que haviam em postagens de cupons e produtos Woo. Ele realmente fez o trabalho. Trouco
