Mysql And WordPress

  • Hello,

    I have a less than ordinary problem and can’t solve it without manually editing posts ( and there are around 2,000 of them ).

    Let me explain.

    I have around 2,000 posts all containing <span> text </span> in the post content. That piece of text between the span tags is different on all posts.

    What I want to know is if there is a way to automatically find and replace anything between <span> and </span> in mysql. Basically, find and replace everything between two html tags. It would be easy to find and replace, for example, <span> my title </span> but since the text between the span tags is different for all posts this solution does not work for me..

    Any help will be greatly appreciated..

  • I think your best bet would be to export the table and use a text editor with regular expression capability to make the changes. Then import the modified sql back into the table.
