This plugin allows you to run safe search-and-replace operations across your entire WordPress database. You don’t need to dig into SQL queries. Note: You need to backup your website Database first before doing it. We are not responsible if there is a problem. Let’s dive into the steps! Below is the anchor text link.

🛠️ Steps to Change Anchor Text Sitewide

1. Install the Plugin

1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
3. Search for “Search & Replace Everything” by WPCode.
4. Click Install Now, then Activate.

2. Access the Plugin Settings

• Once activated, head over to Tools > Search & Replace Everything from your WordPress dashboard sidebar.

3. Configure the Search & Replace Fields

In this link, I want to change the website link from got to kh. I want to apply this change to all my posts on the website.

1. In the Search For field, enter the exact anchor text you want to replace.
   👉 Example: enter got
2. In the Replace With field, enter the new anchor text.
   👉 Example: enter kh ⚠️ Make sure the URLs and tags remain correct. You’re only replacing the visible text link inside. This replacement will change all tags and another with the word “got”

4. Select the Content Types

• Check the box for Posts, or whatever content type you want to update (Pages, Custom Post Types, etc.).

5. Preview Before You Replace

• Click the Preview Changes button to review what will be replaced.
• This helps you catch any unexpected matches.

6. Run the Replacement

• Once you’re confident with the preview, click Replace Content.
• Wait for the confirmation message that the replacement has been applied.

7. Verify Your Posts

• Open a few posts and verify that the anchor text has been updated as intended.

💡 Bonus Tip: Try Another Method

If you’re comfortable with a bit of SQL, you could try using the Better Search Replace plugin. For more granular control, you might run a manual SQL query using phpMyAdmin (with a backup, of course). However, for most users, WPCode’s plugin offers the safest and most user-friendly solution.
