## Description

FixelHub Find & Replace Pro searches and replaces text, URLs and HTML across your
entire WordPress database — and shows you exactly what will change before it changes
it.

Most find-and-replace tools run the query and hope. This one has a Dry Run mode 
that lists every match first, so you can check the result and back out if something
looks wrong. That matters, because a bad replace on a live database is not something
you can undo with Ctrl+Z.

It also understands the places where content actually hides in a modern WordPress
site: custom fields, ACF, serialized options, and the JSON-escaped data that Elementor
and other page builders write. A plain SQL replace corrupts serialized data and 
breaks those pages. This one handles them properly.

**Features**

 * Search post content — posts, pages and custom post types
 * Search post meta — custom fields and ACF
 * Search Elementor and page builder data, including JSON-escaped content
 * Search the options table — widgets, menus and theme settings
 * Dry Run mode to preview every change before applying it
 * Safe handling of serialized data
 * Automatic cache clearing after a replacement
 * Elementor CSS cache clearing
 * Clean, modern interface

**Useful for**

 * Updating URLs after a site migration
 * Moving a site from HTTP to HTTPS
 * Replacing old links with new ones
 * Fixing broken links inside Elementor pages
 * Bulk updating phone numbers, addresses or company names
 * Changing a domain name across all content

**Free, and staying free.** No premium tier, no paid add-ons, no upsell screens 
in your dashboard.

## Installation

 1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New and search for “FixelHub Find&
    Replace”.
 2. Click Install Now, then Activate.
 3. Go to Tools > Find & Replace to run your first search.

Installing manually instead: upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`,
then activate it from the Plugins screen.

## FAQ

### Does it change anything before I confirm?

No. Run a Dry Run first and you get a list of every match, with the table and field
each one sits in. Nothing is written to the database until you choose to apply the
replacement.

### Do I still need a backup?

Yes. Take one before any bulk database operation, whatever tool you use. The preview
greatly reduces the risk of a wrong replacement, but it cannot protect you from 
a correct replacement you later change your mind about.

### Will it break serialized data?

No. Serialized arrays are unserialized, updated and re-serialized correctly. This
is the specific thing that goes wrong when people run a plain SQL find and replace
through phpMyAdmin, and it is why sites break after a manual domain change.

### Does it work with Elementor?

Yes. Elementor stores page content as JSON-escaped data in post meta, which most
search tools miss entirely. This plugin searches that data and clears Elementor’s
CSS cache after a replacement, so your pages render with the new content straight
away.

### Does it work with ACF and custom fields?

Yes. Post meta is searched alongside post content, so ACF fields and any other custom
field data are included.

### Can I limit the replacement to certain content?

Yes. You choose which areas to search — post content, post meta, page builder data,
or the options table — so you can keep a replacement narrow rather than running 
it across everything.

### Is it really free?

Yes. There is no premium version, no paid add-on and no feature held back. If it
is useful to you, a review is the thing that helps most.
