Bulk Editing Content

[SBiehle]

We are receiving some Mixed Content Warnings for blog posts on our site that were published about 9 years ago. There are over a hundred posts that are loading HTTPS and HTTP scripts because some linked URLs are HTTP. 

If my website was in Wordpress, for example,  I could install a plugin that uses regex operations or do a simple find and replace in PHPAdmin or an SQL query and find/replace all the HTTP with HTTPS. 

Is there a way to do that in Hubspot?

Hi @SBiehle 

Because we can't driectly access the server-side database that blog posts are stored in frustrating in this situation but much safer overall) we can't use a plugin to find and replace URLs in the blog content. 

Making the updates you require is possible via API, if you have someone that can write and test the code to perform the updates. However, the time and cost required to do that may be similar to manually updating a 100+ posts. So may decide is better to simply work through them that way. 

Hope this helps.

Hi @SBiehle , totally get the frustration, dealing with a bunch of old posts like that sounds like a pain, especially without those easy WordPress tools.

We are actually building Smuves right now to tackle exactly this kind of thing. It's a bulk CMS editor that lets you bulk edit records without touching code or databases. Should be a game-changer for HubSpot users.

We're aiming to roll it out soon, I am happy to share you beta access.

Hi @Pavan_Smuves, will Smuves do find and replace across Snippets and Templates?

[Pavan_Smuves]

Hi @Coopr . As of now we only support content types of CMS. We are also trying to expand to others in future.

Thanks, Phil. We're always trying to fix the issues that we discover in our SEO efforts and, as you noted, unfortunately a lot of them require manual labor.

If only the Hubspot AI could clean up the code on my blog posts rather than rewrite them... 🤔
