    Is there a method to search for a string and replace it with nothing, I mean with an an empty string?

    I use Global Text Replace:

    If I enter nothing in the “Replace” field, then the “Replace All” button is disabled. Only if I enter at least one character (e.g. a space), then the “Replace All” button is clickable, but I don’t want to replace a string with a space. I would delete del string (=replace it with nothing) Is that possible? If yes, then how?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Yes, change the replace dropdown to ‘remove’

    Oops, I had overlooked the dropdown behind the replace field. Thank you. That answers my question.

    I get an error message with the switch from Single to Remove “Something went wrong 🙁
    Search Regex is not working. Try clearing your browser cache and reloading this page. If you are using a page caching plugin or service (CloudFlare, OVH, etc) then you can also try clearing that cache.”.

    I will report the error as a bug with the appropriate form. In any case, the question is answered. Thank you.
