    I had the same issue and was testing some other solutions. If it is just about changing something within posts or pages I can recommend find-replace

    right, the settings of widgets is serialized in the database. One point, that it no option inside the search/replace dialog on the bottom. If you use the search/replace about all tables, then is it more important, that you search before, analyze and think about the result.

    I saw a similar post where text widgets were being deleted after running a search and replace across the entire database. I don’t really understand why the options are being deleted. If a string is found in a serialized array in the options table from a text widget. Why is the widget being deleted? Can’t the array be unserialized, have the string replaced, re-serialized and updated in the options field?
