I've used the Advanced Custom Fields plugin to create a new Custom Field in Wordpress. My aim now is to move all Download Links from "the_content", to the newly created Custom Field "the_field('download_link')". The issue is that I have over 10,000 posts to modify. I was wondering if there is a quick way of doing this, rather than manually moving the download link for each post?
Please see the images below for an idea of what I am trying to achieve.
One hurdle is that all content is saved in the "wp_posts" table, where the custom field content is saved in the "wp_postmeta" table.
The content saved in the "download_link" custom field, looks like this in the "wp_postmeta" table:
(8214, 2282, 'download_link', '<div class=\"source\"><a href=\"https://www.google.com/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https://www.google.com/image.png\"></a></div>'),
(8215, 2282, '_download_link', 'field_5cffd35335ce3'),
(8220, 2280, 'download_link', '<div class=\"source\"><a href=\"https://www.google.com/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https://www.google.com/image.png\"></a></div>'),
(8221, 2280, '_download_link', 'field_5cffd35335ce3'),
(8226, 2278, 'download_link', '<div class=\"source\"><a href=\"https://www.google.com/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https://www.google.com/image.png\"></a></div>'),
(8227, 2278, '_download_link', 'field_5cffd35335ce3'),
Can this be done at all? Or is the only real way to achieve this is by moving the download links manually?
Thanks in advance for your help.
