Editrix for Craft CMS

Editrix finds text across a Craft site, shows what a replacement would change, applies it, and keeps a log you can revert from, value by value.

It searches entries, globals, Matrix and Neo blocks, and rich text fields (CKEditor, Redactor). Every replace is written to a log before any entry is saved, so a replace that is cancelled or interrupted can still be reverted. The work runs on Craft's queue, so a large site does not hit a request time limit. Editrix follows Craft's own permissions: people only find and change the entries they can already open and save in Craft.

These pages cover Editrix 1.2 for Craft 4. Running Craft 5? Read the Craft 5 documentation, which covers Editrix 2.0.

What you can do with it

• Search plain text or a regular expression, with case-insensitive and whole-word matching. See Searching.
• Search the href of links and the src of images inside rich text, so a domain change updates the link text and the link in one pass.
• Read a before and after preview of each change, or run a dry run that saves nothing. See Replacing.
• Leave single matches out of a replace.
• Undo a replace one value at a time. A value edited after the replace is not overwritten. See Logs and revert.
• Limit a search to sections, entry types and fields, or search several sites at once (Pro).
• Search, replace and revert from the terminal, in a deployment or in cron (Pro). See Command line.

Requirements

	Minimum
Craft CMS	4.0
PHP	8.0.2

Installation

From the root of your Craft project:

composer require brand-industry/craft-editrix
php craft plugin/install editrix

You can also install it from Settings, Plugins in the control panel. If php craft up later shows a project config notice after an update, see Installation and updating.

Quick start

1. Open Editrix in the control panel and choose New Operation.
2. Enter the text to find. Add a replacement to use Search & Replace.
3. Choose the options you need: regular expression, case, whole words.
4. Run the search and review the rows it found.
5. Open a row to see the original and proposed text, then select the rows to change and click Replace Selected.
6. Find the operation under Logs & History, where you can revert it.

Steps 2 and 3. The Find and Replace with boxes sit above the options.

Editions

Editrix has two paid editions, Standard (USD 19) and Pro (USD 99). Either one can be tried without charge in a development or staging environment, and a license covers one production site. Editions lists what each one includes, with the exact limits.
