I'm having a hard time finding a plugin that will search ALL the tables in the Wordpress database, not just the native wordpress tables.

Anyone know of such a plugin?

Thanks

  • Search and Replace still exists, if that covers all the items you want to S/R

    If you know SQL you can just create your own search and replace which is easy to do in phpMyAdmin

    • It's a nice plugin, but it won't search tables created by other plugins or widgets.
  • Yes that is true and I don't know any plugins that will search and replace anything WP core and all added plugins. If you are only doing this one time then just write some custom SQL statments in phpMyAdmin and change whatever you want. Find your data your looking for with a search.
  • Why dont you use php my admin ? (that is located in you cPanel)
  • I agree with james, Having plugins that can edit the database from the wordpress dashboard makes me super uneasy..

    I have had some bad experiences with plugins like that getting exploited. In addition to being hacked, we often let our nontechie writers be admins on these sites, and while I dont see them poking around in a plugin they dont understand... you never know..

    So ya unless this is something you will be doign frequently, i strongly suggest just doing your work in phpMyAdmin... hey there is even a plugin that gives you phpMyadmin ability in the dashboard (BUT DONT USE IT (pretty exploitable))..
