A WordPress plugin for tracking and managing content rebranding across your site.

Description

Content Rebrand Tracker makes it easy to search for specific terms across your WordPress site and replace them systematically. It scans posts, pages, meta fields, and WordPress options to find all instances of specified terms.

Features

  • Comprehensive Search: Search for terms across posts, pages, meta fields, Yoast SEO meta, and options
  • Context-Based Filtering: Filter results by context (posts, meta, Yoast, options)
  • Pagination: Navigate through large sets of results easily
  • Term Replacement: Replace individual occurrences of terms
  • Safe serialized replaces: Replacements in meta/option values preserve serialized data structures (arrays/objects)
  • Memory Management: Clear stored data with a click

Usage

  1. Navigate to the Rebrand Tracker menu in your WordPress admin
  2. Enter a search term to find throughout your site
  3. Enter a replacement term
  4. Replace terms individually or track replaced items
  5. Use the "Clear All Memory" button to reset tracked state

Optional: On the front-end, append ?rebrand_term=YourTerm to a page URL (while logged in) to temporarily highlight matches. Use the admin bar toggle to enable/disable the highlight on that page.

Development

This plugin uses WordPress core, React, and custom JavaScript. Data is stored both in the WordPress database and browser localStorage.

JavaScript build:

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start development build (watches js/src/index.js)


# Production build (outputs to js/build/index.js)
## Changelog
  • Entry point: js/src/index.js
  • Output bundle: js/build/index.js
  • Note: The legacy js/admin-app.js file has been removed and is not used.

PHP notes:

  • The plugin enqueues js/build/index.js in the admin via rebrand_tracker_admin_enqueue().
  • AJAX actions: rebrand_tracker_get_data, rebrand_tracker_set_terms, rebrand_tracker_replace_item, and clear_plugin_memory.

Safety and data integrity

  • Serialized meta/option values are handled safely: values are unserialized (if applicable), strings are replaced deep within arrays/objects, and the structured value is saved back, preventing corruption of serialized data.
  • Post content replaces operate on raw strings (not serialized).
  • A no-op guard prevents writes if the term isn’t found in the target value.

Limitations and tips

  • JSON strings stored in meta/options are not specially parsed; replacement occurs as plain text. Consider converting known JSON fields before replacing.
  • Scanning all options can be heavy on large sites. If performance is a concern, restrict search terms or consider adding an option-name prefix filter.
  • Always make a database backup before bulk replacements on production.
