 * In design view, I find freewebdesign.club/ 40 times. I want to replace all of
   them with wordpresswebsitecreation.com/. So, I paste freewebdesign.club/ in the
   Find box and wordpresswebsitecreation.com/ in the Replace With box. Then I click
   on Update Settings.
 * Then I go to Pages > All Pages. None of the offending text strings have been 
   replaced. What am I doing wrong?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwill-not-find-and-replace%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * This plugin doesn’t modify content in the database. Instead it waits for WordPress
   to generate the HTML and before that HTML is sent to a user’s browser it makes
   the replacements. This allows the plugin to modify the final output from plugins
   and themes.
