: Batch edit WordPress blog posts? I want to change the theme on my WordPress blog to a responsive design one. At the moment however I have used some recurring html at the top of every blog

I want to change the theme on my WordPress blog to a responsive design one. At the moment however I have used some recurring html at the top of every blog post (300+ posts) which I need to change on every post for the responsive design theme to display correctly. I can do this manually but it will be very time consuming.

Does anyone know of a method where I can batch replace/remove text from a WordPress blog? Perhaps a WordPress plug-in or something?

I've always used Search and Replace plugin, which can do a search and replace on post content. It doesn't look like that has been tested with the latest version of Wordpress though, so another option would be Better Search and Replace which is a more recent plugin and also supports serialisation.

You can do a "dry run" before actually running it for real but do make a back up before hand!

My advice would be to remove the content completely from the posts, and incorporate it into the theme post template instead to be more flexible in the future.
