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
Does the new version work with 1.5.2 or should I stick with the old one?
hello
i try using this plugin to replace a text, to bold text .. like baby , replace baby
but then all my image eror, because their link contain that text … hmm .. how to trick this?
How can I replace line breaks with non-line breaks. I’m having a small problem from when I imported my Blogger posts. Check out my blog and you will know what I mean.
Good job! I can never remember the exact command for search & replace using phpmyadmin. This plugin saves me time. Of course I’d backup the database first before using it. I’d do that even if I were to use phpmyadmin anyway… just in case.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks Tom. I thought I had corrected the link but obviousily I hadn’t. Now it is fixed.
Just letting you know the download URL on the website:
http://wp-plugins.net

Wow, cool. Thanks Frank.

I’ve integrated Gonahkar’s changes and tested the plugin on Wordpress 2.0.
I’ve also investigated adding wildcard support. Currently MySQL does not support wildcard or regex for REPLACE so I wont’ be supporting it in the near-future.
Enjoy.
