my website was sending https to http links. I used this plugin to serah and replace
these. There are no instructions anywhere on how to use it. I contacted their support
and noone ever came back to me. I tried to do and it and it took literally hours
then I realised it had replaced all http: with httpsssssssss: It has taken me ages
again to change this and had to pay for someone to fix. maybe I was doing it wrong
but how would you know when there are no instructions

My web host migrated multiple sites to a different server — and apparently, a UTF
encoding setting wasn’t correct. The result was that lots of special characters —
â€”Â, â€œ and â€¦, among others — suddenly showed up all over my site. My website
goes back 18 years, so going back post by post wasn’t a realistic option. And leaving
that content strewn with unreadable garbage wasn’t realistic, either. I found this
plugin, then determined what character each individual string of random characters
was SUPPOSED to be. One by one, I replaced each string with the correct character.
It took about two minutes to correct errors across literally thousands of posts.
It couldn’t have been simpler.

I installed this plugin as it was recommended to update the urls of images when 
importing them from one blog to another during an integration process. Unfortunately,
after running it I was told 0 rows had been updated so it did nothing at all. It
may be possible that only the Pro version works, if that is the case why offer a
free version that does nothing, it is basically just an advert.
