  • Best URL Replacement Plugin I've Found!

    Wow. I'm impressed. After attempting to use three of the other "big"/popular URL replace or "Search and Replace" plugins with no success, this one screamed through the project perfectly. We had around 1200 pdf uploads that kept the development domain URL. I tried all other "big guys" and had errors, or simply no success with each one. Saw this plugin with like 12 installations and 1 review and figured "I'll give it a shot"... Not only did it easily succeed in the task as expected but perfectly replaced all 1200 some links in less than 3 seconds. I'm SUPER impressed! Thank you Vipul Bokarvadiya!!!
