Scan posts, pages, and custom post types for a phrase and selectively remove occurrences, including HTML wrappers or blocks.

Description

PhraseMatch lets you search your entire site for a specific phrase and selectively remove every occurrence in one click. It understands both classic HTML wrappers and Gutenberg blocks, so you can clean up content without breaking your layouts.

Features:

  • Scan posts, pages, and any registered custom post type for a target phrase.
  • Preview every match with its surrounding context before making changes.
  • Remove individual occurrences or bulk-remove across multiple posts.
  • Automatically handles HTML wrapper elements and full Gutenberg blocks.
  • Simple, lightweight admin interface — no bloat.

Installation

  1. Upload the phrasematch folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  3. Navigate to the PhraseMatch admin page to begin scanning your content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which post types can I scan?

PhraseMatch supports posts, pages, and any public custom post type registered on your site.

Will this break my Gutenberg blocks?

No. PhraseMatch is block-aware and removes the entire block when appropriate, keeping the remaining content valid.

Can I undo a removal?

PhraseMatch modifies post content directly. It is recommended to back up your database before performing bulk removals. You can also use WordPress revisions to restore individual posts.
