Can the html editor make mass changes to a site? For example, if I wanted to update the "copyright 2015" on the bottom of every page, could that be done without going into each page?

Hi matthew,
Yes it has a find and replace feature.
It can be adjusted to look in specific folders and file types. I use it a lot.

Be sure to make a backup of the site BEFORE making global find/replace changes just in case something goes wrong. If done correctly, there shouldn't be a problem, but it's always good to be prepared just in case.

Another way to do that is just put all the footer in a separate file and use a SSI (server side include) to load it to the pages. Corrections and updates then only have to be made in one file and uploaded to the server. You can of course do the same thing with the main navigation and header if you wish.

This would still involve replacing code in every page for the user that didn't use includes to begin with.

True -- but only one time
Actually I only mentioned it in case there might be unheard lurkers considering the same possibilities.

I hit the replace button one time.

yep! got me.
Doesn't much matter if the site is five - ten - twenty pages you are changing. Hundred and fifty, two hundred or so, becomes a different story.
Actually I do the same on a small site, change the pages and upload.
Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
