Research Description: String Locator is a specialized WordPress plugin designed to help developers, administrators, and site managers quickly find and edit text strings within themes, plugins, and even WordPress core files. This tool eliminates the guesswork of locating hardcoded text by providing precise search results, including file paths, matching lines, and contextual previews. The plugin also features in-browser editing, allowing you to make changes directly from the search results. Before saving, it runs a built-in consistency check that scans for unbalanced braces, brackets, and parentheses, reducing the risk of syntax errors and broken functionality. While not a substitute for full testing, this safeguard significantly minimizes common editing mistakes. For maximum safety, it’s recommended to work on a staging site before deploying changes to production.
Affected versions: Min 2.6.7, max 2.6.7.
Status: SAFE & CERTIFIED
