Reviews

Does not appear in Classic editor

glendeni October 24, 2024 1 reply

After install, see settings and inserts wanting me to review and upgrade, but no “search” field in classic editor (via plugin) as shown in screenshots. Have screenshot, but you don’t want me to post that! Waste of time for me.

Not working

Thank you for creating this. It does exactly what it should.

Was good but it has some issues now

anselmo21 May 1, 2024 2 replies

I’ve used this plugin once in the past and I don’t remember having the following problems: It automatically transforms ALL the words with “é” to “??” (even those that I don’t want to replace). It transforms the page from blocks to the classic editor. (however, there’s a “convert to blocks” button that puts everything back to normal) It only replaces when both checkboxes are checked, but it says “WORD replaced with WORD successfully!” It does search & replace correctly, but due to the issues above it’s not usable for the French language that has a lot of accents. I’ve tested the plugin with no other plugins installed in Twenty Twenty-Four 1.1 theme.

Very very useful

It’s very useful

Great for replacing text in pages and posts.

paulroberts December 25, 2023

Allows searching and replacing text in pages and posts, works great Would be better if the replacement could be blank so you could remove unwanted text as well. Should be a part of the core editor in wordpress.
