 * Hi,
 * I’ve just installed Search & Replace 3.1.0
    In a first pass, I’ve replacesd the
   site URL, but WP keeps going back to the previous URL. Similar to previous post
   but not the same.
 * I’ve tried to search & replace the old URL with the new URL in text, no error
   message, but it looks like nothing has happened. When I check the content of 
   a page, the old URL is still there
    I’m doing something wrong ?
 * I click on “Search & Replce” (second item)
    Search for (old URL) Replace with(
   new URL) Select tables (all) DryRun (no) Export or write (save to DB)
 * Do search
