Search Regex vs The Hack Repair Guy's Plugin Archiver

Archive any plugin with one click. Archived plugins are hidden from your Plugins list and safely moved out of wp-content/plugins into a dedicated archive directory for easy restore later. Ideal for preventing accidental re-activation, testing different plugin sets, and keeping occasional-use tools out of sight until needed. Features One‑click Archive link on the Plugins screen Bulk Archive / Unarchive / Delete actions Optional auto‑deactivate before archiving (recommended) Manage multiple archive directories and switch between them “Unarchive All” button on the Archived Plugins tab Non‑destructive: archiving does not remove a plugin’s settings/data Uses the built‑in WordPress Filesystem API with capability and nonce checks How it works When you Archive a plugin, its folder is moved from wp-content/plugins to your chosen archive directory (e.g., wp-content/plugins-archive-xxxxxx). Archived plugins are removed from the Plugins list, so they can’t be accidentally activated. You may switch the active archive directory or create new ones in Settings → Plugin Archiver. Common use cases Maintain a “toolbox” of favorite utilities you don’t need to see every day Quarantine buggy or compromised plugins to avoid accidental activation Test different plugin stacks by pulling sets into and out of the archive Share management with others while reducing “oops, I clicked Activate” incidents

Search Regex adds a powerful set of search and replace functions to WordPress posts, pages, custom post types, and other data sources. These go beyond the standard searching capabilities, and allow you to search and replace almost any data stored on your site. In addition to simple searches you have the full power of PHP’s regular expressions at your disposal. You can use this to do things like: – Help migrate a site from one domain to another – Update URLs in links and images – Perform site-wide changes Search filters can be created to match any column of any WordPress table. For example: – Find all posts in a category – Find all post meta data without a post – Find all posts in a date range Search Regex handles small and large sites. Search Regex has been tested with PHP from 7.4 to 8.4. What can I search? You can search: – Posts – Pages – Any custom post type – Comments (including spam) – Users – Meta data – WordPress options Full regular expression support is provided, and you can capture data and use it in the replacement. Actions A variety of actions can be performed on matching results: – Modify and replace the result – Delete the result – Export to CSV and SQL – Perform custom PHP action Modify and Replace Data Results can be individually modified by clicking on the item to change, and using the popup modifier. Bulk modifications can be performed against all matching results. The types of modification depend on the data being changed: – Numbers can be added or subtracted to existing numbers – Hours, days, weeks, and months, can be added to dates – Tags and categories can be added, removed, and substitued Custom shortcodes are supported that allow dynamic data to be included: – Add the current date and time, in any format, to content – Insert data from other columns. For example, insert the category into the title – Transform existing data. For example, convert case, change underscores to dashes. Example uses Some ideas for potential uses: – Delete all comments that match a phrase – Add a category to all matching posts – Remove orphaned meta data Support Please submit bugs, patches, and feature requests to: https://github.com/johngodley/search-regex Please submit translations to: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/search-regex Translations Translations are provided by WordPress itself.
