How I am dealing with the name change from Google Webmaster Tools to Google Search Console

As far as the books and PDF’s that I have written about Google Webmaster Tools I will just have to manually edit them and upload them again. SInce only the name has changed there isn’t much more to write about in the books.

Use JavaScript to change all instances of Google Webmaster Tools to Google Search Console

This code can be put in your footer.php or in a sidebar in WordPress. It will look for every instance of Google Webmaster Tools and then automatically change it to Google Search Console formerly know as Google Webmaster Tools. Just copy and paste the code should not take any more than 10 seconds once you’re logged in. 🙂

Only cool people share!

document.body.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML.replace(/Google Webmaster Tools/g, ‘<span class="highlightred">Google Search Console <small><em>Formerly Known as Google Webmaster Tools</em></small></span>’)
