 * Well, it works partially.
 * When I replace a string, the post page seems fine. However, when I click edit
   post, I see in my editor the replacement doesn’t happen, it shows exactly what
   is used to be. Wierd. Click view post seems the replacement is there, only the
   editor page has this error. But with this error, when I modify the post and update
   it, the string changes back. So don’t know what to do now.
 * I disabled all cache plugins and the error seems still there.

 * Hi,
 * This doesn’t really make sense, if it’s reflected on the front end that means
   it’s also reflected in the database (and thus the edit page as well). Is it possible
   there were two similar pages with slightly different search strings?

 * OK, the problem is solved by itself…
    Thanks for your reply anyway!
