Search and Replace
Bulk-replace text across your site's database
Search & Replace swaps text everywhere in your site's database in one go —
the classic use is fixing an old domain or URL across every post, page, and
setting. It runs wp search-replace under the hood.
Open your site → Tools → Search and replace → Run.
How to use it
- Enter the text to find in Search and the new text in Replace with.
- Click Dry Run first — it previews the changes without touching anything, showing a table of where matches were found (Table, Column, Hits, Type).
- If the preview looks right, click Apply to make the changes.
After a successful run, MagicWP automatically flushes your page and object caches so the live site reflects the new values.
Back up first — this edits the database directly
Great for domain and URL changes
Moving to a new domain or from http to https? Search for the old URL (e.g.
http://old-domain.com) and replace it with the new one to update links,
images, and serialized settings across the whole site.
