Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Moved to a new web address? Renamed your business? Changed a phone number?

Honest Site Text Updater finds every place the old text appears and shows you each one before anything changes.

  • Type what to find and what to replace it with, and click Find matches.
  • Check the list. Each place shows the text before and after, with a link to edit it. Untick anything you want to keep.
  • Click Replace. Your site keeps a copy of everything it changes, so you can undo it later.

What makes it different

  • You see every change first. Nothing changes until you have looked at the list and pressed Replace. There is no “dry run” setting to remember.
  • Undo is free. The last 10 changes can be undone with one click. Undo only puts back what this plugin wrote: if you edited a page afterwards, your edit is kept.
  • It finds web addresses in every form. Page builders such as Elementor store addresses as https:\/\/example.com, and some forms store them as https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com. When your text contains a / or:, these forms are found and replaced too.
  • Widgets and settings stay safe. WordPress stores settings in a format that breaks if text changes length. This plugin rewrites that format correctly, including settings stored inside settings. Anything in a format it cannot read safely is listed and left alone.
  • It works on cheap hosting. The work is done in short steps while the screen is open, so it does not time out on large sites.
  • Pages edited in the meantime are skipped. If someone edits a page between your search and your Replace, that page is left alone and named in the result.

Where it looks

Posts, pages, menus and other content; custom fields; widgets and settings; comments; categories and tags.

It never changes:

  • user accounts, emails or passwords;
  • your site address settings (changing those signs everyone out; use Settings > General);
  • WordPress’s own internal settings, such as scheduled tasks and the list of active plugins;
  • old revisions.

What it does not do

  • It does not send anything to an outside service.
  • It has no settings page and no account.
  • It does not slow your visitors down. It only runs while you have its screen open.
