Cherchez-vous à effectuer une recherche et un remplacement dans WordPress ? Récemment, l’une de nos utilisatrices/utilisateurs nous a demandé comment effectuer une recherche et un remplacement sur la base de données de WordPress sans écrire de code SQL ou utiliser phpMyAdmin. Beaucoup de débutants ne sont pas à l’aise avec le code, c’est pourquoi nous avons trouvé une extension de recherche et de remplacement pour WordPress. Dans cet article, nous allons vous afficher comment effectuer une recherche et un remplacement sur WordPress.
Premiers pas
Il est extrêmement important de créer une sauvegarde complète de WordPress avant d’apporter des modifications à votre base de données WordPress.
Faites de cette meilleure pratique une habitude, les choses peuvent mal tourner à tout moment lorsque vous apportez des modifications directes à la base de données WordPress. Si vous avez une sauvegarde, alors vous pouvez facilement restaurer votre site WordPress sans rien perdre.
Installation et utilisation de Better Search and Replace pour WordPress
La première chose à faire est d’installer et d’activer l’extension Better Search Replace. Une fois activé, vous devez visiter la page Outils » Better Search Replace pour utiliser l’extension.
Il suffit d’ajouter la chaine de texte que vous souhaitez rechercher, puis d’ajouter le texte de remplacement.
Ensuite, vous devez sélectionner les tables dans lesquelles vous souhaitez effectuer la recherche. Par exemple, si vous souhaitez rechercher et remplacer du texte dans vos publications, vous pouvez sélectionner le tableau des publications. Vous pouvez également sélectionner plusieurs tables si vous le souhaitez.
En savoir plus sur la gestion de la base de données de WordPress et sur la fonction de chaque table dans WordPress.
L’extension peut effectuer une recherche et un remplacement sensibles à la casse. Il peut également effectuer un test à blanc qui vous permet de voir combien de cellules sont affectées par votre recherche sans réellement remplacer le texte.
Lorsque vous êtes satisfait, cliquez sur le bouton Exécuter la recherche/remplacement. Si vous n’avez pas coché l’option d’exécution à sec, l’extension lancera une recherche et un remplacement sur votre base de données WordPress.
Dépannage
Il se peut que vous voyiez un écran blanc ou que vous rencontriez des délais lors de l’exécution d’une recherche et d’un remplacement. Cliquez simplement sur l’onglet Réglages sous la page de l’extension.
Vous remarquerez l’option de taille maximale de la page. Essayez de diminuer la taille de la page pour éviter les délais et l’écran blanc.

Does the plugin work for bbpress topics and replies too?
WPBeginner Support says
The plugin does have the ability to search what was added through other plugins, you would mainly want to make ensure you search the correct tables.

Thanks, this mostly worked for me but didn’t quite change all of the image links.
The rest I could easily change myself by editing the custom modules.
WPBeginner Support says
Glad our guide was helpful

Changed a website from http to https via cpanel; green lock did not appear and « connection is not secure » warning was present. This plugin worked great for me. The only difference I did was that I left the checkmark off « Case Insensitive? ».
Every site can be different with it’s own hurdles to jump through but the dry run seemed to look okay without any errors so I ran with it. Green lock appeared right away for the site. Plugin worked for me. I hope it continues to work with other sites.
My only question now is … Do I leave the Better Search Replace plugin installed and activated or do I uninstall it now that I’m done?
WPBeginner Support says
That would be a personal preference question but you should be able to remove the plugin without worry

Hello,
My site is having issues showing images lately, and my host said that it’s because the paths are wrong. They recommended this plug in, but my problem is that I am not sure what I am searching and replacing. Here’s why:
When I insert an image in « visual » mode within a post, it shows up. They all do.
Then when I preview or publish, some images don’t show up. What I am noticing lately is that instead of the code showing them as « image.jpg », they now have the image size you choose in the path – « image-300×188.jpg » (this happens to be the medium size for this particular image). Why is it putting the pixel dimensions? If none of the images worked, I could say yes, the paths are incorrect, but some images DO work! I am officially bamboozled. It seems so random.
Best,
Mandy

I had a program enter structured data that is all different. I want to remove everything between and including this : ———————-
How would I do that?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Drew,
We are not sure we completely understand your issue. However, we are guessing that you had a plugin to add structured data and now you want to remove the structured data from your WordPress posts and pages? If this is the case, then you can simply uninstall the plugin.

Great plugin!
I have a question.
Can I use a wildcard?
I am trying to remove numbers added after an image file. They are different (both the numbers and their length). The stop point would be the (« ).
Some examples of what I want to replace with (jpg »)
(jpg?11906004322295206140″)
(jpg?15231215847335105667″)
(jpg?82668654789154738″)
Is it possible with this plugin?
Thanks

I download « Better Search & Replace. Once it found entries, it doesn’t show me unless I buy premium addon.
So instead I ditched that and downloaded « Search & Replace ». It took me only two minutes to replace 100 entries.
Ralpheal says
Wow thanks so much, this is truly a luxury. Going to save me a lot of time, as I was considering changing a phone number on 1oo’s of blog posts.
Thanks so much,

This plugin did not work for me. I backed up the database, then unchecked « Dry Run ». It messed up things all over the site and there was no way to undo the changes.
I even tried to restore the database backup I created with it before making changes and that didn’t work. Don’t use this unless you’re prepared to do an entire site restoration.
WPBeginner Support says
You should have tested with dry run first to see how many rows are affected by the plugin. Glad that you followed the instructions and made a backup first.

sir
help me out from pagination error i did which you show in video but i didn’t get result
i am using macbook air in this your given shortcode not work properly
Marko Tiosavljevic says
yes, but this plugin is practically useless when it comes to migrations.
When you migrate website from domain . com to another . com you need to change
you need to connect to database for changing url or you need to insert it in wp_config as url
i am working on external app wp safe mode that is solving this problems in best way.
WPBeginner Support says
It is highly useful in performing search and replace after you have connected to the WordPress database.

Hi, it seems that this plugin is no longer available in WordPress Plugin Directory. Which alternative plugin do you recommend?
With kind regars,
Nico.
Syed Umair Umar says
Better Search and Replace is an alternate for me. The editorial staff of WP Beginner seems too lazy and replies to comments very few times.
WPBeginner Support says
Thanks for helping out.

Does this take into account serialize data or will it break plugins that use serialized metadata? I know of a few plugins that do this for migration purposes. If it doesn’t it could cause more problems than it solves.
