I can understand imposing limitations on the free version. But when I tested it, it seems the free version only searches individual pages rather than in bulk. I don’t see the point of that. Search and replace plugins need to handle sitewide concerns by nature.

This is the only game in town for globally searching and replacing content in pages made with Elementor. I tried every other popular S/R plugin, I tried SQL queries, I tried some tricks I learned on Stack Overflow. Nothing worked for me correctly and I killed my site a few times. Luckily I stumbled onto this plugin. I bought the pro version to S/R some content in my 120 page Elementor Pro site, and it worked great. Took about 30 seconds total. This saved me days of manually editing pages. I will be keeping this in my toolbox from here on out as I build mostly Elementor sites. Afterward I had a very specific plugin customization request and the Dev (Krasen) really went above and beyond helping me out and making it happen which is crazy good. Totally check out this plugin and buy the pro version if possible to support this Dev!

We a building a static website and this tool was god sent. I am finally able to get past the database updates from generic S&R plugins and elementor reconciliation challenges and can continue to scale our assets. Thank you so much !! Bless You !!

I bought the plugin with a premium license, but the desired function – searching and replacing links in HTML blocks – unfortunately does not work at all. Even after asking the developer, there is no solution. He has not even investigated the problem and does not offer a refund of the license due to malfunction. The plugin only gets 2 stars because the developer responds very quickly.

I’m doing local SEO and have duplicated a page for a number of service areas. I have a bout 21 locations where I want to change the town name in the Elementor page (among other little unrelated tweaks). I was dubious about using this plugin when I saw some of the low reviews but I couldn’t fine any other suitable plugin so I gave it a go. Well, for my use case it was brilliant and did exactly what it says on the box – faultlessly. It’s themed to look just like it’s a part of Elementor and it worked perfectly every time I used it. For what I needed, the free version was perfect. Shame about the low reviews as this Plugin is definitely worth using.

It just doesn’t really work. The plugin is incredibly unstable on my install. Maybe other people are finding it works (based on reviews?), but I needed it for bulk search/replacing elementor page content inside custom post type and its incredibly hit or miss. Page reloads when selecting your posts, adds weird <highlight> tags to your content even if you toggle that feature off, wont update urls inside widgets. I find it hardly even works when trying to do a search/replace on the page level inside elementor. This plugin needs some QA and a patch for paid users.
