No Replace? #44

Clearly I must be missing something, or not understanding something. When use Better Search Replace my results show: "DRY RUN: 76 tables were searched, 746 cells were found that need to be updated, and 0 changes were made." Clicking the Run Search/Replace button multiple times changes nothing.

So the plugin found 746 instances that needed to be updated, but it failed to update anything? I checked the settings tab and didn't see any option like "enable replace", nor any link after the completed search to "perform replace", etc.

Again, I must be missing something here....

The DRY RUN checkbox was checked, indicating you just wanted to see what WOULD change, if you actually ran it. Try setting it up again, and running without the Dry Run checkbox.
