### How to replace in DB?

 * **Start by generating a report**: Select the **Dry Run** option located at the
   bottom of the settings section.
 * **Review the report**: A modal window will appear, showing the specific rows 
   and data that will be affected by the replacement.
 * **Proceed if satisfied**: If the preview looks accurate and matches what you 
   intend to replace, simply close the report window, uncheck **Dry Run**, and click
   the **Find & Replace** button.
 * **⚠️ Attention:** Please carefully review the dry run report before making any
   changes. Once replacements are applied to the database, they **cannot be undone**.
   The PRO version includes an undo feature, but it must be installed before performing
   the replacement.
 * **✅ Important Tip:** Always run a dry report first to ensure your search term
   and replacement are correct. If anything looks off, adjust the keyword and repeat
   the process until the preview shows the desired results.

 [Peter Berner](https://profiles.wordpress.org/numba7/) 10 Aprile 2026

Yeah, find and replace, that’s what it does… finds things you want to disappear 
and replaces them. It’s like the mafia boss of your wordpress… only it’s really 
you behind the scenes. Kapeesh!

### 󠀁[THIS TOOL WORKED PERFECTLY!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-tool-worked-perfectly/)󠁿

 [Colleen Wright](https://profiles.wordpress.org/responseim/) 9 Gennaio 2026

My client moved to a different city and the former city was everywhere in the website.
I was able to easily change cities with no problems. I tried a different tool prior
and it messed everything up, thank goodness the site was backed up just prior so
I could restore it and use Better Find and Replace!
