Better Search Replace

This is about the free version of this plug. I tried Better Search Replace to change a couple of words on the website. It left me hanging, neither completing the process nor enabling me to restore my site. It deliberately did not change the menu items and asked me to buy their paid version to complete the replacement. Hiding the facts from the free users was dishonest, and I had to restore the website. The plug developer should tell users upfront what would happen if it were used for free. However, I completed the job using their competitor’s plug in that replaced EVERYTHING. Th BSR plugin should be removed from this website because it offers incomplete job and a disservice to the free users. It should not be promoted on this site for free to attract buyers, while hunting for those who use it for free to force them buy it. They should understand that offering a free version is the price they pay for their plugin to be promoted to the broad market.

Following a change of server and security certificates, I used the plugin to change the URLs of my website to remove the ‘www.’ I had to do this as new security certificates were not generated for www. URLs. The plugin worked flawlessly!
