 * Hi,
 * I have tables on my site that contain a lot of URLs. I need to change a considerable
   number of these URLs with a plugin but I’m struggling to identify what TablePress
   calls its entries in the WP database. What tables do I need to look for, please?
 * Also, is there an URL replacement plugin you can recommend that works perfectly
   with TablePress, please? (I tried Better Find and Replace but that plugin only
   found a fraction of the the URLs that need changing so next I’ll be trying Better
   Search Replace.)
 * Thanks,
 * Steve

 * Hi!
 * Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!
 * TablePress stores the table data as a two-dimensional array, encoded in the JSON
   format, in a “Custom Post Type” called `tablepress_table`, which are stored in
   the `wp_posts` database table.
 * So, you would have to do the search/replace in that database table. Now, depending
   on how exactly the URL that you are replacing look like, you will just have to
   keep in mind that slashes can be treated differently in JSON: That is that internally,
   they can be stored with a backslash in front of them so that a URL like `https://
   example.com/some-link/` might internally actually be stored as `https:\/\/example.
   com\/some-link\/`. So just as a try, also try the URLs with that change.
 * Regards,
   Tobias
