User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the Say What? plugin for its simplicity, as it allows them to change text strings in WordPress without editing the core files. They find it particularly useful for customizing translations, renaming fields, and maintaining a consistent tone across their site. It saves time, making quick text changes without needing extensive coding knowledge. However, some users find the free version limiting as it requires knowledge of "text domains" and the exact string names, which can be cumbersome and technical. The absence of features such as automated string discovery in the free version pushes users towards the Pro version. Issues with plugin conflicts and lack of PayPal support also contribute to user dissatisfaction.

This is the plugin’s description:An easy-to-use plugin that allows you to alter strings on your site without editing WordPress core, or plugin code. Simply enter the current string, and what you want to replace it with and the plugin will automatically do the rest! I tried it with this string: <div id=”wrapper”> that I want to replace with: <div class=”wrapper”>, but nothing happened.It says in the description that I only need to enter the current string, and what you want to replace it with and the plugin will automatically do the rest. But it doesn’t work that way.

Does exactly what it supposed to do. Don’t need to change the core file for changing strings we want to translate. You will need to find the exact string name and it’s location (site domain).

Free version useless without extensive php knowledge of the target modules. Accepts any setting but does and says nothing.

I was recommended on this plugin by WooCommerce Payment, because I wanted to change the title of the payment method. And it works, very easy to use.
