Easy Search Replace – Buscar y reemplazar texto/HTML/URL, eliminar el crédito del pie de página

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 Update branding, fix old links, swap outdated content, or remove footer credit with a few clicks.

Dirige los reemplazos con precisión mediante:

• Post Types (Posts, Pages, WooCommerce Products, any CPT)
• IDs de entrada específicos (separados por comas)
• URL exactas (una por línea)

Why it’s safe: All changes are applied dynamically at render time. Your posts, pages, and database stay untouched. Disable the plugin or toggle a rule off and your original content is back instantly.

Casos de uso habituales

• Eliminar el crédito del pie de página — delete or replace any theme footer text, copyright notice, or «Powered by» link.
• Replace company names — rebranding? Update every mention of your old name site-wide in seconds.
• Fix old links — swap broken URLs, redirect HTTP → HTTPS links, or update moved resources.
• WooCommerce text changes — rename «Add to cart» buttons, change checkout labels, or translate WooCommerce strings without code.
• Hide plugin or theme branding — remove «Built with Elementor», «Jepack stats», or any injected text.
• Conditional content — show different text to logged-in users, mobile visitors, or during specific date ranges (Pro).

Características

Free version:

• Real-time search and replace for text, HTML, and URLs — no database changes.
• Enable or disable each rule with a toggle (no need to delete and recreate).
• Limit rules by post type, post ID, or URL (one per line).
• Case-insensitive matching (Ignore Case option).
• «Don’t match if page contains» safety switch — add a marker to any page you want to leave untouched.
• Configurable «Skip HTML tags» setting — protect <script>, <style>, or any tag from being modified.
• Multiple rules, executed in the order you define.
• Lightweight: buffer filtering only starts if you have active rules.

Pro features (Easy Search Replace Pro):

• CSS selector targeting — restrict replacements to elements matching .footer, #main, h1, or any CSS selector. Inspect the element in your browser and paste the class or ID. Perfect for removing footer credits from a specific element without affecting the rest of your page.
• Regex patterns — full PHP regex with smart defaults. . matches newlines and patterns are UTF-8 aware by default. Write <div class="x">.*?unwanted.*?</div> and it just works.
• Match text between two markers — replace everything between a «starts with» and «ends with» snippet without writing regex. Safer because it stops at the first end marker.
• Scheduled rules — activate rules only within specific date ranges, times of day, or weekdays. Perfect for seasonal banners, holiday promotions, or timed content swaps.
• Audience & device targeting — show different replacements for logged-in users vs guests, target specific user roles, or serve different content to desktop, mobile, or tablet visitors.
• Exclusion rules — apply a rule everywhere EXCEPT specific post types, post IDs, or URLs.
• Import / Export — export rules as JSON or CSV for backups. Bulk import hundreds of rules at once from CSV for agency migrations.
