Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Real-Time Find and Replace

In an array in the wp_options table. Just one record regardless of the number of find and replace rules.

Unless you're using 50+ rules, you shouldn't notice any performance impact. And if you're using a caching plugin, even more rules won't slow your site.

You can do a straight up find and replace where the plugin will look for an exact match of what you specified. You can also used advanced pattern matching that is available through regular expressions by checking the regex checkbox.

This will happen if you are using a rule with regex enabled and the rule has an error. Regex is tricky so I recommend starting with a simple rule and adding to it to perform the replace you want.
