Search and replace directly in the Joomla database by Regular Labs: any table of the site, case-sensitive matching and a preview of changes before anything is written.
DB Replacer by Regular Labs handles bulk data edits: replacing an old domain in every article, fixing a typo repeated across hundreds of rows or updating an image folder path. Instead of opening and saving each record by hand, the administrator defines what to look for and runs the replacement across the chosen table in one pass.
Features
- Search and replace in any database table of the site, not only in articles.
- Case-sensitive matching.
- A preview that lists which values will change before the replacement runs.
Important
Changes are written straight to the database. A wrong pattern can break the site, so a fresh backup is essential, and the tool is meant for administrators who understand the Joomla table structure.
Compatibility
- Joomla 4, 5 and 6.
- Current version 9.1.0, last updated in JED on 13 September 2026.
- For on-the-fly replacements in page output that leave the database untouched, the same developer offers ReReplacer.
