I want to change a link, from text link to image link,
like:
<a href=”abc.zip”>download</a>
to
<a href=”abc.zip”><img src=”/images/download.gif” alt=”download” /></a>
And this link is not in one post, but some posts, it will spend a lot of time if I replace it one post by one.
I tried WordPress Exporter/Importer, but do not work, I get a doubled menu, it’s not my wanted.
I think it should be “Export Posts” -> “Delete All Posts” -> “Replace Posts” -> “Import Posts”.
And I think it will change Post ID, No, I just want to update the post contents.
So I need use some tools to do it.
First, I use MyLobEditor (https://www.withdata.com/mylobeditor.html) to export from WordPress posts (Mysql database) to files.
“Export LOB”
Then, I use Windows Grep (https://www.wingrep.com/) to batch replace text in files.
Last, I use MyLobEditor to import files to WordPress (Mysql database).
“Import LOB”
Note: Do not check “Use Unicode” box in MyLobEditor logon form.
