I just upgraded my blog's lightbox plugin from an older version to Lightbox2 and needed a way to update all the image code entries in my posts. I was going through each of them slowly and cursing myself for using so many images when I decided to search for someone way smarter about SQL databases than I am. I appreciate the time you took to create such a useful and explanatory post on the subject. You saved me a lot of tedious work! :-) THANK YOU!!!

You can add or subtract code within there to remove things manually, without the use of a Plugin. There may be Plugins that handle this through the Administration Panels, but I don't know of one. @ Mad Dog:

I set up a blog for a client who, despite my instructions, created lots of posts by pasting, which included and tags that are overriding the CSS. It would be nice to be able to either tell WP to ignore those tags in posts or to strip them out of the db, but unfortunately they're all different so your method won't work. Any idea? THANKS!

If you can edit the database, go in and manually change the information. After that, your best help on this is the WordPress Support Forums. They will be able to help you with the specifics. Also, I deleted the error information that revealed private information about your blog's server. DO NOT publish that information anywhere as it can invite hackers. @ Gary:

I amsol and struggling. I have a blog that is remorelty hosted, Oploaded the files to godaddy for me and made some changes to the blog. Worked fine. I then tried to copy it to another url at godaddy. I followed instructions re FTP'ing the files to my hardrove and made 1 mistake - I never backed up the database befopre changing the URL. Of course the moment I changed the URL - I could no longer get into wordpress or the blog. I got all the files and the changeed database into the new locatiobn and restpored everything to the old one. Now I cannot get to either blog. I have checked and changed the URL in the database and the config file. This is the message I get: "Error establishing a database connection" I have checked these and they seem to be fine. What options can you think of and is there anything I cando? Thanks. Lorelle - Love your blog - THANKS! I amsol and struggling.
