My client moved to a different city and the former city was everywhere in the website. I was able to easily change cities with no problems. I tried a different tool prior and it messed everything up, thank goodness the site was backed up just prior so I could restore it and use Better Find and Replace!
I was able to make hundreds of changes very quickly and reliably
I’ve been using this for all the wordppress sites that i’ve built.
Better Find & Replace really does what it says that it does !!!
Makes me Happy !!!
Works perfectly as expected. Thank you for the plugin.
