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”.

Thanks for your plugin! Great! Just found out that the link leading to this plugin on http://wp-plugins.net/ is dead. You might want to correct this.. Cheers!
hi, i edit your plugin to search n replace in the comment text and comment author, it can be new version, how i can send it for you?
never mind that last comment, the download works… (I followed some direct link to the file, which 404′d, using the link from your post worked)
I’d like to tryout the plugin, but the download gives me a 404… Could you give me a location where I could get the goods? =]

Hi Jon, are you sure about the “.pl”? Did you download the searchandreplace.zip and extract the contents (because they should all be .php as they are wordpress plugins)? I just tried to download it there and it worked fine for me…
though are you refering to “ax.pl”? This is just a redirect perl script (see http://thedeadone.net/software/wordpress-and-axs-integration-plugin/ for more) and shouldn’t be downloaded. BTW, .pl is for perl scripts.
??
hello,
i tried to DL the zip, but the file’s extension is “.pl” and i’m not sure what program that is for? thank you!
Thank you. Your plugin has saved me hours of work!
How does the your test result? Does the ‘*’ and ‘?’ work now?
Worked great…thanks for this. I had an old b2 blog that I exported. Somehow (during export, or as a function of b2) every apostrophe had a slash in front of it ( \’ instead of ‘ ). Running an update command with to fix apostrophes made me a little nervous because I thought the apostrophe would break the SQL string(s), but it worked flawlessly.
