Hi!

I own the domain, the client no longer wants to pay for his worpress site.  He's abandoned his project.

I would like to find all instances of "Keyword A" and replace with "Keyword B"

What is the fastest or most efficient way to "find and replace" across a whole WordPress site (40+pages)?

Thank you 👍

@noox I would use a SQL script to find the words in the posts table. You would then replace the word with the new word and update the database.

@ssadvisor excellent suggestion!

Does this look like the right method for a newbie?

@noox no, you need one for MySQL. Actually, this is one you want to do with a plugin mentioned here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-FTr4V4EsY
