   visits the pages…
 *     ```

 * I tried this:
 *     ```
       '\);(.*)}\);
       ```
   
 * but when I tick the Regex checkbox, WordPress returns blank page.
 * Please help, thank you

 * indeed, with any kind of regex… even with a simple word
 * or your regex option doesn’t work or is there something which does conflict when
   I enable the regex…but how to debug? thanks

 * Regex rules need to start and end with a forward slash. This is typical with 
   regular expressions.
 * I would recommend starting with a very simple regex replace and once you have
   it working, start adding in wildcards and such. Regular expressions can be tricky!
