Post Meta Manager Plugin

A simple utility plugin for changing or deleting post or user meta (custom fields) keys in bulk.

Creates a panel to change or delete meta keys in bulk. Useful for when you are switching plugins or themes that use specific meta keys for functionality, or for general cleanup for older sites that may have older meta data that is no longer in use.

Installation

  1. Upload the post-meta-manager folder and all its contents to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Go to the Post Meta Manager page under the ‘Tools’ menu

FAQ

Can I only change or delete keys?

At this point, yes. That may change in the future.

I made a typo in the key name I wanted to change to / from

That’s OK. Just run the process again with the correct spelling. Remember, if the typo was in the ‘new’ value, that’s now the ‘old’ value to change.

OH NOES I deleted a key I didn’t mean to!

That is…unfortunate. The process, however, is not reversible. You DID run a backup before, correct?
