• == Description ==
• When moving your WordPress site to a new domain or server, you will likely run into a need to run a search/replace on the database for everything to work correctly. Fortunately, there are several plugins available for this task, however, all have a different approach to a few key features. This plugin consolidates the best features from these plugins, incorporating the following features in a simple, ad-free plugin:
• Serialization support for all tables
• The ability to select specific tables
• The ability to run a “dry run” to see how many fields will be updated
• No server requirements aside from a running installation of WordPress
• WordPress Multisite support
• The search/replace functionality is heavily based on interconnect/it’s great and open-source Search Replace DB script, modified to use WordPress native database functions to ensure compatibility.

• = Using Better Search Replace =
• Once activated, Better Search Replace will add a page under the “Tools” menu page in your WordPress admin.
• = Is my host supported? =
• Yes! This plugin should be compatible with any host.
• = Can I damage my site with this plugin? =
• Yes! Entering a wrong search or replace string could damage your database. Because of this, it is always adviseable to have a backup of your database before using this plugin.
• = How does this work on WordPress Multisite? =
• When running this plugin on a WordPress Multisite installation, it will only be loaded and visible for Network admins. Network admins can go to the dashboard of any subsite to run a search/replace on just the tables for that subsite, or go to the dashboard of the main/base site to run a search/replace on all tables.
• = How can I use this plugin when changing URLs? =
• If you’re moving your site from one server to another and changing the URL of your WordPress installation, the approach below allows you to do so easily without affecting the old site:
• 1. Backup the database on your current site
• 2. Install the database on your new host
• 3. On the new host, define the new site URL in the `wp-config.php` file, as shown [here](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Edit_wp-config.php)
• 4. Log in at your new admin URL and run Better Search Replace on the old site URL for the new site URL
• 5. Delete the site_url constant you added to `wp-config.php`. You may also need to regenerate your .htaccess by going to Settings -> Permalinks and saving the settings.
