search and replace static urls in my site ?
I looked over the plugins. I saw one that said ‘search and replace is now available in txp 4.0.2 so this plugin is no longer useful’ or something like that.
Anyway, I mistyped static urls on about 300 of my pages. I meant to type ‘articles’, but instead I typed ‘archives’.
Is there a global search and replace method I can use ? An easy way to fix this ?
My mysql skills are down around zero, so I would prefer not to mess with the myphpadmin stuff if possible.
Thanks.

Jim,
the plugin might still work on 4.2. Alternatively there’s smd_where_used which searches without replacing.

Ah, it wasn’t search and replace, but file upload replace that wasn’t needed anymore…
I’ll try lam’s search and replace plugin later today. http://textpattern.org/plugins/914/lam_search_replace
I have to do some grocery shopping first.

Okay, I couldn’t wait.
Saved my database. Ran the plugin. No changes.
Error says it couldn’t connect to database.
here is the entire error message:
Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Unknown modifier ‘a’ in /usr/home/drivein/public_html/crestar/crestar/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(594) : eval()’d code on line 65
Warning: Table ‘drivein_txtp.drivein_drivein_textpattern’ doesn’t exist update drivein_drivein_textpattern set body = ‘’ where id = 257 in /usr/home/drivein/public_html/crestar/crestar/textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php on line 85
Could not connect to database
end error message.
first I tried replacing archives with articles, no change.
then I tried /archives/ and /articles/ then got the above error message.
edit: my stomach is growling at me. I’ll be gone feeding it. I’ll be back later.

You’d better post in the plugin support thread.

I once used this snippet in phpMyAdmin:
UPDATE tablename SET columnname =
REPLACE(columnname, 'searchstring', 'replacestring');No guarantee, better do another backup ;)
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links
