Better Search Replace with AI, on every WordPress site you look after

Content and admin tools are the plugins nobody thinks about until one of them breaks the editor or has a published vulnerability across half your sites. WebCrew monitors the site 24/7, matches Better Search Replace's installed version against the vulnerability databases, and updates it with a restore point when you say go.

Connecting

How to connect a site that runs Better Search Replace, and what we recommend

Where the host allows SSH keys, we recommend SSH: every file compared, not only what WordPress reports, and cleanup help when a site is compromised. Where it does not, the connector plugin covers monitoring, updates and Better Search Replace's version check in five minutes.

24/7 uptime, health score, versions, administrators
Vulnerability matching and updates with a restore point
One-click login, DNS and mail settings

Five minutes. Remove the plugin and the site is disconnected.

Recommended

SSH

One key, scoped to the site's user on the server.

Everything the connector does
File-level integrity checks and faster updates with a full restore point
Malware cleanup and staging copies, when a site needs them

Ten minutes. The key is revoked from your dashboard at any time.

How connecting works, step by step

Questions

Before you connect a Better Search Replace site

Does WebCrew change content on its own?

No. Every change is a draft that waits for a person.

Can it update Better Search Replace safely?

Every update runs on the schedule you set, takes a restore point first and keeps the code difference; if the check afterwards fails, it rolls back on its own. Running the update on a copy first is coming soon.

Does it work with a premium licence?

Yes. Premium plugins update through their own licence; WebCrew shows the pending version and keeps the restore point.

Does it see my drafts and private content?

No. It reads versions, settings and administrators.

Do I have to install anything besides Better Search Replace?

One of two things: the WebCrew connector plugin, uploaded in wp-admin like any plugin, or one SSH key for the site's own user. Nothing else changes on the site.

Can I use my own Claude or ChatGPT with a site that runs Better Search Replace?

Yes. Connect your tool to WebCrew over MCP and ask about the site from your own chat. Reading is instant; changes are made for you, logged, and undone in one click.

What does it cost for a site running Better Search Replace?

The first site is free, for as long as you like. Every site after that is billed per site per day, monthly, for the days it was on. Plugins are never counted.

Is my content or Better Search Replace's data used to train anything?

No. Your content is never sold and never used to train a model, by WebCrew or by a provider it uses.

What if Better Search Replace is a premium plugin with a licence?

It updates through its own licence. WebCrew shows the pending version, takes the restore point first and keeps the code difference, the same as for any other plugin.
