Replace Manager for WordPress
Run site-wide WordPress find and replace for URLs and text, with a dry-run preview and change history, for cleaning up a manual or third-party site move, staging-to-live changes, and controlled bulk edits.
Safe WordPress find and replace for URLs and text
Replace Manager is the WordPress find and replace module inside All-in-One WP Settings. It lets you search your whole site for specific URLs or plain text and swap them for new values in one controlled run, instead of editing posts and pages by hand. It is the right tool when a change happens outside the Backup Manager restore flow: you moved a site manually or with a third-party tool and old links remain, you are cleaning up after a staging-to-live copy, you switched from http to https, or you rebranded a product name across hundreds of entries. When you migrate through Backup Manager instead, that flow already rewrites URLs for you, so Replace Manager is reserved for leftover or external references. Every run starts with a dry-run preview so you can see what would change before anything is written, and a change history records past runs so you always know what was replaced and when. The value is simple: large content corrections become reviewable, repeatable, and far less risky.
Best for: Site owners, agencies, and freelancers who migrate sites, switch domains, move to HTTPS, or rebrand and need to update many URLs or text strings across content at once.

Why Replace Manager matters
Preview removes the guesswork
The dry-run shows exactly what would change before a single row is written, so you can confirm scope and catch mistakes instead of discovering them after the fact.
Bulk work without manual editing
Updating one URL or phrase across hundreds of posts by hand is slow and easy to get wrong. A single controlled run does the same work consistently and keeps the result uniform across your content.
A record you can trust
Change history keeps a log of past replacement runs, so you and your team can see what was replaced and when rather than relying on memory.
How teams use Replace Manager
-
Cleanup after a manual or third-party move
You moved a site to a new domain by hand or with an external tool, so old links and references are scattered across your content. Find the old domain and replace it with the new one in a single reviewed run. A migration done through Backup Manager already handles this automatically.
-
Staging-to-live cleanup
After pushing a staging build live, replace staging URLs and leftover references with the production values so nothing keeps pointing back at the staging environment.
-
HTTPS conversion
After installing a certificate, rewrite http references to https so older content points to secure addresses.
-
Brand or product rename
When a product or company name changes, replace the old name with the new one everywhere it appears so your content reads consistently.
-
Bulk content corrections
Fix a repeated typo, an outdated phrase, or a wrong piece of text that was copied across many posts and pages at once.
Good to know: Broad replacements can touch many rows at once, so always run the dry-run preview first and keep a recent backup before any large run.
