Downloads: Search and Replace Wordpress Plugin (1.1)
This is a plugin for Wordpress to allow you to search and replace text across all your posts.
This plugin is for Wordpress 1.5 or better (including 2.0).
It is uses SQL replace so it’s fast but not very flexible.
Just download the zip, extract the searchandreplace.php file and place it in your wp-content/plugins and then in the wp-admin plugin interface active it.
You will then have a new panel in your “Manage” section called “Search and Replace”.

Hi unnarrator, I’m not sure I can. I would have loved to be able to update the plugin to report what it changed, but it’s a rather dumb plugin and all it does is an SQL replace which doesn’t support that kind of functionality.
As for the weird characters, where do they come up? Is it on a webpage or when you edit the entry? Is there a difference between the two copies?

[...] Actualización 10/09/06: He encontrado un plugin, llamado Search and Replace que nos puede evitar los pasos del 3 al 5. Lo instalas y desde la opción Manage-Search and Replace de tu dashboard de WP vas a poder sustituir directamente las cadenas de texto que indico en el paso cuatro. Aunque ya sabes, Copia de Seguridad siempre antes… ¡por si acaso! [...]

I’m so sad I can’t get this plugin to work for me! Recently I changed hosts, and when I did all my ellipses (…) were replaced with “?��Ǩ��” and all my em-dashes (—) were replaced with “?��Ǩ��?”–I had high hopes that this plugin would correct them for me, but though it says “searching…replaced!” all the weird characters are left in there…anyone know what all this is about? I sure don’t want to download my db, do the s&r in there, only to upload it again and discover that it’s happened all over again…ideas?

[...] The internal links in my posts pointed to my old blog, I had not changed it. However, I realised that this will push my readers to the old blog, which I don’t want to encourage. So I used the Search and Replace plugin to replace the old URLs with the new ones. It was not difficult since I have kept the same permalink structure. There was some risk involved, so I made sure that my database was backed up. Unlike the common perception, it is extremely easy to backup your Wordpress database using the Wordpress Database backup plugin. From now on I will start using relative paths rather than absolute ones to avoid this problem in future. [...]

One other enhancement might be to add the field “Category”…so that one could replace category names in all posts.
