WordPress is one of the simplest and most powerful to use CMS platforms. With WordPress, all you really need to do is think, write and publish.
Whether you manage a small business or a company blog, there is a lot you can write about. In no time at all, you could find hundreds or even perhaps thousands of published posts on your web site … especially if you allow others to post content on your site.
(How do you bulk edit hundreds of WordPress posts?)
WordPress Bulk Editing Plugin
What happens if, let’s say, after a period of time, you have many of published articles on your website and discover that you have to replace a page element?
If you like messing around with code, you could do search and replace edits within the WP sql database.
Luckily, if you are a non-technical WP user, there is a WordPress plugin that lets you change content in multiple locations on your WP posts and pages without having to access sql databases or mess with web server files.
WPBulkEditor – WP Bulk Editor Plugin

Plugin Tips
WP BulkEditor is not only useful for performing bulk search and replace tasks on your current WP posts and pages. You can also use it to bring old WordPress sites up to date.
If you have old affiliate links pointing to non-working destinations, for example, you can easily replace these non-working URLs with useful links.
Here’s a useful tip: Let’s say that you conclude all posts on your business blog with a call to action that includes asking visitors to contact such and such a person (e.g. “For more information contact Kelly on 1234-567890”) and this individual quits your company. You can replace the name of the departed contact person with the new contact person’s details, and do the same thing for any email addresses, telephone numbers, etc. You can also recreate posts with different city names for publishing on different websites!
