Mass update headings in posts
-
Hello,
It seems I made a mistake writing my posts, since the beginning…
I use the Kotetsu theme and wanted to get/remove some spaces between paragraphs so I used the Title heading so many times for each post I wrote.Thus, it seems this WP theme didn’t show up the right typo because I’ve never “seen” my mistake till today I wanted to change my theme and saw all my posts (200+) are f*cked up. For each post, I have some complete paragraphs showing as a title (h1 etc).
This is my fault, I know, but would you have any idea (plugin?) to help me remove all the Title header in my posts? I mean without editing each of em.
Thanks a lot!

Hello Immike30,
Sorry for the problem with your posts. There is a way you can do mass updates to your posts using a Database query. If you’re not familiar with updating through a MySQL client like phpMyAdmin, then definitely check out the plugin called Better Search and Replace. It allows for you to search for strings in particular tables and replace them. If you’re modifying your posts, then you would be modifying the wp_posts table. Your tables might vary based on the prefix you used in the database (default is “wp”). You would be searching for “<h1>” and the closing tag “</h1>” (without the quotes). Be careful though, if you remove them, from the posts table, you will basically be removing ALL of the H1 tags. Make sure that you make a BACKUP of your site database (and your site) before you make any changes.
I hope that helps!
Let us know if you’re able to make the corrections!
