  • Do you have WP-CLI installed? It has a search/replace function that can handle regular expressions.

    If not there might be a plugin out there that can do it.

    Only some links that contain symbols such as “_” and “-”
    like this

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BD_DaYOWWE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BD_DaYOWWE</a>
