Change Database Values with Better Search Replace in the WordPress DB

Most people in WordPress know that there exists a “database” somewhere in the whole system. And they might also know that there are times you’ll need to do a little “search and replace” within that database. This is useful if you’re looking to change a string you’ve used across a whole array of posts, of if you’ve just moved your site to a new URL. While the full details of the second case—migrating a WordPress site to a new URL—are well beyond the scope of this Quick Guide, we’ll cover a plugin that can be really useful if you’re doing that too: Better Search Replace.
