  I recently imported my wordpress.org blog into wordpress.com. The old blog used a plugin to handle youtube videos that expect a URL like this: httpvh://www.youtube.com/etc…

  I need to do a mass find and replace for all my posts to replace httpvh://www.youtube.com with http://www.youtube.com so that your built in YouTube plugin works. Is there any way to do that or will I have to manually update a thousand posts?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hey there!

  Find/replace isn’t available in WordPress.com. However, instead of manually editing all your posts, my suggestions would be to delete the content that you imported into WordPress.com.

  Then, open your XML file and do a find/replace. Then, resave your XML file. Then, re-import it into your WordPress.com site.

  That should do the trick. Let me know if you need more guidance with this, or if this helps.

  Thanks much.
