 * Really nice plugin.
 * It seems to be impossible to bulk delete excerpts. I have more than 600 Post 
   with a custom exerpt where some shortcodes are in. I changed the system so I 
   need to get rid off all those shortcodes.
 * Bulk editing excerpts is working great but I want to have blank excerpts and 
   that’s not working?!
 * I’m using a plugin, which generates a button in blank excerpts, I tried to insert
   blank charatcter but it’s still a charackter and the excerpts are not empty.
 * Any suggestions?

 * The problem is that for bulk editing, blanks are considered “no change”.
 * Request added [https://github.com/michael-cannon/custom-bulkquick-edit/issues/49](https://github.com/michael-cannon/custom-bulkquick-edit/issues/49).
 * I might be able to get to this, this weekend.

 * Martin-
 * A couple of plugins that I use for this purpose:
 * Search and Replace – Frank Bultge (my fav because it lets you first search the
   item and gives you all of the potential replace results)
 * Find replace – Ramon Fincken, Bas Bosman (less control but still good)
 * FYI…there is an excellent plugin: CodePress Admin Columns that allows for a lot
   of admin column customization…for free…and they have a premium upgrade which 
   is a bit expensive…but it allows for inline editing of over 100 fields (including
   excerpts) on the admin side and plays nicely with custom post types.
 * Hope this helps!
 * Regards,
    Will

 * I wasn’t able to code this functionality this afternoon as quick implementation
   ran into troubles. Maybe in the upcoming month when next onto this plugin I’ll
   get this taken care of.

 * Thanks foryour replies.

    I can’t use search
   and replace, cause every excerpt has a unique identifier inside the shortcode.

 * That would be really nice, I can wait for this function, I can insert my new 
   button with a shortcode. The only thing is, that the auto generated excerpts 
   are gone. But that’s ok for the first time.
