I like it and am happy to see it evolving. Aside from the persistent nags for a review and pitching the Pro Version (which I think is premature, given the number of users), I find the [Block Editor Search & Replace] a useful editing tool. I don’t mind that a new program is buggy; it comes with the territory, and I have faith in its continued evolution. Sometimes it has introduced strange characters into the page text while transforming the page from blocks to the classic editor. (however, the “convert to blocks” button solves the problem) providing there is not a major page crash. All-in-all, continue the great work on this excellent time saver.

After install, see settings and inserts wanting me to review and upgrade, but no “search” field in classic editor (via plugin) as shown in screenshots. Have screenshot, but you don’t want me to post that! Waste of time for me.

I’ve used this plugin once in the past and I don’t remember having the following problems: It automatically transforms ALL the words with “é” to “é” (even those that I don’t want to replace). It transforms the page from blocks to the classic editor. (however, there’s a “convert to blocks” button that puts everything back to normal) It only replaces when both checkboxes are checked, but it says “WORD replaced with WORD successfully!” It does search & replace correctly, but due to the issues above it’s not usable for the French language that has a lot of accents. I’ve tested the plugin with no other plugins installed in Twenty Twenty-Four 1.1 theme.
