    This sounds like a very cool tool! I think I will have to give it a try, as this seems so much easier than trying to do this in myAdminPHP. Thanks for sharing this, and tweeting it!

    this is a difficult one – am considering using these to remove the requierd tags for Vipers Video Quicktags plugin seeing as WP 2.9 now automatically displays stuff but dunno if i have full faith in 2.9’s abilities in this area.

      Well you could always just do a small number of the update and see how that works on some posts. Then you can go from there to remove them all if it works.

    Hi –

    I am getting an error message when I try to SEARCH:

    Fatal error: Class ‘stripslashes’ not found in /xx/xxxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/search-regex/search-regex.php on line 51

    • Richard Hay (32 comments.) says:

      I am not getting that error but am getting a blank page in IE and Safari. I think something in the update yesterday has messed some things up.

      I will ping the author and see if he can check it out.

    For permanent changes SQL queries are the way to go. Having said that I can see how many bloggers would be terrified to go that route. (and if you don’t know what you are doing you shouldn’t either) Therefore I can see this plugin becoming very popular.

    Just today the author has updated the plugin.

    There’s also the convenience factor. It’s often a bit easier and faster to make changes using a plugin than logging into your web host’s admin panel, going to phpmyadmin and making the changes from there. You also need to ensure that you’re executing the queries correctly. One bit of wrong code, and KABOOM!

    In my books Search Regex by John Godley definitely wins hands down!!

    That’s pretty awesome! I think that it would be great for mass changing adverts across your blog etc! I think I’ll be checking this one out! Cheers :)
