Easy Search Replace – Find & Replace Text/HTML/URLs, Remove Footer Credit

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.

• Remove or replace theme footer credits.
• Replace company names, links, or copyright lines.
• Update outdated or HTTP→HTTPS URLs.
