Is there a way to revert many/all posts to the closest revision to a particular date, all at once?
The specific use case I need it for is to remove all the spammy viagra links from the content on a briefly-infected blog.
Any solution welcome.
Revert multiple posts to an older revision?
Probably is a way with an SQL query.
But another solution is to use Search RegEx, which is a good plugin to be able to search and replace with grep and regular expressions through all posts and pages. And I’d delete all your revisions to make sure the links aren’t hidden in old revisions that might get restored at some point.
If you need to develop a regex search string to find spammy
hreflinks, check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/regexAnd you can search for text strings with phpmyadmin in your Cpanel, or better yet, adminer, which is simpler and more secure. WordPress ⺠Adminer « WordPress Plugins.
