Joomla! 3.10.11

I need to search and replace many instances of the old {tab} language with the new. You suggested DB Replacer Pro would be the tool to do that.

I know absolutely nothing about regular expressions or the columns in the db where they exist, so I'm at a loss.

Would you be able to help? Thx.

{tab=title|blue}

Thank you!

I restored the site rather than just the db b/c I'm not too swift with phpMyAdmin. 🙂

Thank you, Peter! Over 400 instances replaced successfully. 🙂

Now I need to replace the old Slides with Sliders expressions. I can't use the same scripts as above, i.e., substituting {slide=} with {slide title=}, b/c the closing expression for Slides is {/sliders} not {/slides}. With Tabs, as you know, the closing expression stayed the same between old and new.

Can that be done?

Thank you.
