 * Hi, I was wondering if I need to replace the word ‘plugin’ from pages and posts(
   including custom post types) will this work? I tried another plugin that was 
   a find and replace and my site’s plugins no longer worked and I had to restore
   a backup. I realize it’s a weird word to have to replace but I sell plugins and
   for legal issues, we’re having to change the name to something else.

 * Hi tristadeleon, i think it should work!
 * **You need not be afraid.**
    This Plugin has a dry-run mode, there you can review
   the replacements and you can download a export of the replaced Database.
 * Please give me a Feedback or stars if had it worked.
