# Custom Post Type Bulk Refresh

 * I have been using an old plugin that uses custom post types and I am changing
   to a newer plugin with better functionality (don’t wish to to start a war of 
   words so please don’t ask which plugins).
 * I have migrated hundreds of custom post types in the WordPress database table
   via mysql statements to the new plugin structure successfully – no problem.
 * The issue is that the old plugin content contains html tags such as <p>, **, 
   etc. These are now being displayed on the public facing pages of the website.
   I.E. ‘<p>Hello World</p>’ – rather than ‘Hello World’.**
 * If I open an individual CPT in the admin area, do absolutely nothing else but
   then re-save it – it successfully strips all the unwanted html tags.
 * Does anyone know what hook activates this process and/or how I can process this
   for all the custom post types?
 * It would be a huge pain to do this manually.
 * Thanks

 * apologies, there is a  tag in the initial support post that has caused the bold
   and unwanted formatting.
