## Descrição

The **Easy Search Replace** plugin lets you **find and replace** any text, HTML,
or URL across your WordPress site in real time—without editing files or the database.

It’s the safest way to do **search and replace** on front-end output. Update branding,
fix old links, or **remove footer credit** with a few clicks.

Target replacements precisely with:
 – CSS selectors (e.g., `.footer`, `#site-title`,`
h2`) – Post Types (Posts, Pages, CPTs) – Specific Post IDs (comma separated) – Exact
URLs (one per line)

**Why it’s safe:**
 All changes are applied dynamically at render time. Disable 
the plugin and your original content is unchanged.

**Popular use cases**
 – Remove or replace theme footer credits. – Replace company
names, links, or copyright lines. – Update outdated or HTTPHTTPS URLs. – Find/replace
only inside specific HTML elements. – Limit changes to selected posts/pages/URLs.

### Features

 * Real-time **search replace** and **find replace** for text, HTML, and URLs.
 * Remove footer credit or any unwanted text/link.
 * Optional **CSS selector** targeting (classes, IDs, tags).
 * Limit by **post type**, **post ID**, or **URL**.
 * Case-insensitive mode (Ignore Case).
 * Multiple rules, executed in order.
 * Lightweight: parses DOM only when selector rules exist.
 * Clean, simple settings UI.

### Usage

 1. Open **Settings  Easy Search Replace**.
 2. **Find**: Enter text/HTML/URL to search.
 3. **Replace with**: Enter the replacement (leave empty to remove—great for footer
    credits).
 4. _(Optional)_ **CSS Selector** to restrict to specific elements (e.g., `.site-footer`,`#
    main`, `h1`).
 5. _(Optional)_ Limit by **Post Types**, **Post IDs**, or **URLs** (one per line).
 6. Enable **Ignore Case** if needed.
 7. Add multiple rules and **Save Changes**.

### Examples

**Replace text globally**

Find: Old Company
 Replace: New Company

**Remove footer credit (selector-based)**

Find: Powered by MyTheme
 Replace: Selector: .site-footer

**Replace URL site-wide**

Find: http://oldsite.com
 Replace: https://newsite.com

**Only on specific posts**

Find: Coming Soon
 Replace: Launching Now Post IDs: 25,47,88

**Case-insensitive**
 Enable **Ignore Case** to match “WordPress”, “wordpress”, 
etc.

## Instalação

 1. Download the plugin ZIP.
 2. In WP Admin, go to **Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin**.
 3. Upload the ZIP, click **Install Now**, then **Activate**.
 4. Go to **Settings  Easy Search Replace** to add rules.

## FAQ

### Does this modify my database or theme files?

No. All replacements happen in the output buffer at runtime.

### Can I remove theme footer credits?

Yes. Put the exact text in **Find**, leave **Replace** empty, and (optionally) set
a footer **CSS Selector** (e.g., `.footer-credit`).

### Will it work with page builders and caching?

Yes. It works on rendered HTML (Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, etc.). Clear your cache
after adding or updating rules.

### Performance impact?

Minimal. String replacements are fast; DOM parsing occurs only if you use selector-
based rules.

### Regex support?

Not in this version—by design for speed and simplicity.

### 󠀁[Could be an essential plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/could-be-an-essential-plugin/)󠁿

We have clients all the time that want woocommerce or other plugin wording changed,
and this looks to be an excellent way to do just that without having to try and 
find hooks or filters specific to the function and output.But not only that – this
plugin lets you change absolutely anything on the page, which could make it essential
except*… I downloaded the plugin and looked through the code, and it looks straightforward
and harmless in itself. Mostly it’s a WP wrapper for simplehtmldom on sourceforge,
which grabs WP’s output buffer and does one last search & replace on it before serving.
Very nifty indeed. *My only concern is as this plugin is so new and straightforward
is if it’s been vetted to be secure enough for live sites. We installed on a dev
site and it worked flawlessly. But this is seriously powerful to be able to change
anything whatsoever in the final output code. Any non-admin access would be very
dangerous. Should that risk be mitigated, we’d use this all the time. We’ll keep
watch on this plugin for sure as it gets more usage and reviews.
