Dashboard Method: 1. Login to your WordPress admin and go to Plugins -> Add New 2. Type "Better Search Replace" in the search bar and select this plugin 3. Click "Install", and then "Activate Plugin" Upload Method: 1. Unzip the plugin and upload the "better-search-replace" folder to your 'wp-content/plugins' directory 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress == Frequently Asked Questions == = Using Better Search Replace = Once activated, Better Search Replace will add a page under the "Tools" menu page in your WordPress admin. = Is my host supported? = Yes! This plugin should be compatible with any host. = Can I damage my site with this plugin? = Yes! Entering a wrong search or replace string could damage your database. Because of this, it is always adviseable to have a backup of your database before using this plugin. = How does this work on WordPress Multisite? = When running this plugin on a WordPress Multisite installation, it will only be loaded and visible for Network admins. Network admins can go to the dashboard of any subsite to run a search/replace on just the tables for that subsite, or go to the dashboard of the main/base site to run a search/replace on all tables. = How can I use this plugin when changing URLs? = If you're moving your site from one server to another and changing the URL of your WordPress installation, the approach below allows you to do so easily without affecting the old site: 1. Backup the database on your current site 2. Install the database on your new host 3. On the new host, define the new site URL in the `wp-config.php` file, as shown [here](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Edit_wp-config.php) 4. Log in at your new admin URL and run Better Search Replace on the old site URL for the new site URL 5. Delete the site_url constant you added to `wp-config.php`. You may also need to regenerate your .htaccess by going to Settings -> Permalinks and saving the settings.
