WP Bulk Replace

Update hundreds of WordPress files in one reviewed batch.

Drop in the replacement files, review the matches that need attention, then run the batch when you are ready. Backups and rollback are built in.

Example question: “How do I replace 200 PDFs without doing them one by one?” Answer: 200 files — Bring the whole batch in at once. Matched — It works out which file goes where. 18 to review — Check the ones it is unsure about, then replace. Example question: “Can I update this PDF without breaking the links?” Answer: New file — Swap the document itself. Same file, swapped — The page keeps pointing at it. Links keep working — Nobody has to update a URL. Example question: “Our filenames change every semester. Can it remember the matches?” Answer: Match once — Tell it where the file belongs. Remember it — Pro remembers where that file goes. Less cleanup next time — Recurring batches get easier.
