Consortia Quick Find & Replace adds a compact find and replace tool to the editor so you can clean up content without switching screens or editing HTML by hand.
This free version is built for fast, safe editing in the current document only. It is ideal for the kind of cleanup work editors do every day:
- fix repeated words or phrases
- update outdated wording in a long article
- clean up product descriptions
- replace text in the title and content while reviewing a draft
You can search for text, move between matches, replace the current match, replace all matches in the open document, and undo the last replacement before saving normally in WordPress.
Matches are highlighted in supported editor views, with a stronger highlight for the active match when using Previous or Next.
What you get in the free version
- Find text in the current post, page, docs entry, or product
- Highlight matches while searching
- Move through matches with Previous and Next
- Replace the current match or replace all matches in the open document
- Undo the last replacement in the current editor session
- Optionally include the title in replacements
- Use case-sensitive or case-insensitive matching
- Work in the block editor, classic editor, and text editor
Why editors like it
- Works where you are already writing
- Safer than running a site-wide or database-wide replace
- Fast for one article, one page, or one product at a time
- Easy to review before you save the document
- Useful even if you only need it occasionally
Important
This plugin does not run site-wide or database-wide replacements.
It only changes the content that is currently open in the editor. WordPress does not save those changes until you click Update, Publish, or Save Draft.
Available in Pro
If you later need a faster editing workflow, Quick Find & Replace Pro is designed to add more convenience tools for repeated content work.
Depending on the package and release stage, Pro-oriented workflow features may include:
- saved presets for common find and replace pairs
- replacement history
- undo all changes in the current session
- remembered values and workflow preferences
- a draggable floating panel
- extra WooCommerce field support, including short descriptions

How It Works
- Open a supported editor screen.

- Review the highlighted matches.
- Use Previous or Next to move between matches.
- Open Replace when you want to change text.
- Choose Replace for one match or Replace all for the current document.

- Save, update, publish, or discard the document through WordPress as usual.
The plugin changes the open editor content only. WordPress does not save those changes until you save the document.
