Software: 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”.

History
Version 1.1: 4th January 2006
Search and replace for comments and comment authors from Gonahkar added. Tested on Wordpress 2.0.
Version 1: 23rd March 2005
First version
If ‘*’ and ‘???’ are supported by SQL then they should work now, I guess, as the plugin just uses whatever text the user puts in the fields to search against. I’ll have to try it and get back to you on it.
Thanks… work nice for me
I wisk in futur version, there are the search & replace with special sql string: ‘*’ ‘?’
example:
- search “En*” will give result: “Enter”, “Entry”, “End”…
- search “thedead???” will give: “thedeadone”, “thedeadtwo”…
Oh wait, nevermind. I edited the user rating down to 9. Now it works. Thanks.
Hmm, doesn’t show up on the manage page in admin and I’m running WP 1.5.1.2. I have a user rating of 9.
mESH, try logging in as an admin user. I setup the permissions so only admin users can use the plugin.
Hi mESH,
And you have activated the plugin from the “Plugin | Plugins” screen? I don’t know what could be the problem. I’m using WP, 1.5.1 on this site and my testsite and it seems to appear.
You could try the link directly but I doubt it would work if it’s not appearing in the menu:
http://your.wordpress.address/wp-admin/edit.php?page=searchandreplace.php
Installed the plugin but its not appearing in the ‘Manage’ section, is there is a filename I can just manually type in? I dont necessarily need a visual thing I can click on.
I’m using the most recent version of WP, 1.5.1.2
Worked for me. Thanks!
Hi Señor Epiphyte, I haven’t tested it extensivly but it worked fine for me in all my tests.
The warning in the readme is a ‘just in case’.
Does this plugin work? The readme does not express confidence or assurance of success. Rather than back-up and have to reload the SQL database, I’d be interested to know what the likelihood of failure will be.
Goal: replace “/www/images/” in a reference globally with “/www/images/postimage” so that I can rearrange my server…
