 * On the screenshots tab of the plugin’s page, the image shows as if we could do
   the replacements occurrence by occurrence. However, the plugin doesn’t have that
   functionality. Is that by choice on this newer version, or my installation doesn’t
   function properly.
 * My use of the plugin would require replace one occurrence or two per post. The
   plugin now replaces everything or nothing.
 * Thanks in advance,
 * Dorian

 * I have this issue, as well. I’m in WordPress 4.7.3, which has not been tested
   with this plugin, but the functionality was too good to pass up (with no decent
   alternatives), so I had to try it.
 * I suspect that (sadly) the screenshot is out of date. It shows links to “View”,“
   Replace” and “Edit”, but now there is only “View” and “Edit”–and they apply to
   the whole post, rather than to the replacement text.
 * Even a simple “Ignore this replacement” checkbox would be handy, to prevent having
   to choose between all or nothing.

 * Alas, [this post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/neither-inline-edit-nor-replace-link-on-results-working/)
   from 2 years ago says he went back three years, and found the same issue reported
   but unresolved.
 * The only possible conclusion is that development has stopped on this otherwise
   terrific initial effort.
