Sub-category: Content

The Search & Replace tool is a powerful feature that allows you to make bulk updates to your website's content. This is especially useful for correcting typos, updating contact information, or rebranding your site. This guide will show you how to use this tool effectively.

Step 1: Navigate to the Search & Replace Tool

1. Log in to your user dashboard.
2. Navigate to the "Search & Replace" section.

Step 2: Select a Website

Choose the website you want to perform the search and replace operation on from the dropdown menu.

Step 3: Enter Your Search and Replace Terms

In the fields provided, enter the text you want to search for and the text you want to replace it with. You can add multiple search-and-replace pairs by clicking the "Add More" button.

Step 4: Preview the Changes (Recommended)

Before making any permanent changes, it's a good idea to preview the results. Click the "Preview" button to see a list of all the places where the search term was found and how it will be replaced. This will not make any changes to your live site.

Step 5: Execute the Search & Replace

If you're happy with the preview, click the "Execute" button to make the changes permanent. This will update your website's database, and the changes will be reflected on your live site.

Note: This is a powerful tool, so please use it with caution. It's always a good idea to back up your website before making any major changes.
