 * **Custom Find & Replace** does not change URLs contained in **WPBakery Page Builder**
   elements
 * (example: in **Single Image**, the link contained within is **NOT** modified.
 * Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

 * Hi [@aztecdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aztecdesign/),
 * WP Migrate Support Team here. Thanks for reaching out with your query, we would
   be happy to assist!
 * It’s possible that WPBakery Page Builder is saving their URLs differently. Could
   you try escaping your slashes to see if that helps?
 * For example, if you are trying to find “//www.google.com/” please try searching
   for \/\/www.google.com\/
 * Let us know how it goes for you.

 * I tried to **FIND** “https:\/\/www.mementopet.it\/” **REPLACE** “http:\/\/localhost:
   8888\/mementopet\/” and does not work

 * I found the solution!
   On sites created with WPBakery, if you export a site containing
   links to parts of the site inserted into the pages, you must add the strings 
   in the **Custom Find & Replace** section like this:**FIND** https%3A%2F%2Fwww.
   mementopet.it%2F **REPLACE** http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8888%2Fmementopet%2F
