I have had a request to change a string (“Speakers”) which is on all my events in the editor to another string (“Presenters”).
I need a “Event editor only” search, replace then store loop?
Do you have any ideas as to how to do this? Any weird WP tricks?

You could use this tool and do a find/replace on the posts table:
https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
Taking a database backup before using the above script is encouraged.
Or if you want to play it safe and avoid borking the database and do a WP trick that could qualify as weird, you could apply a filter function onto the WP the_content filter. e.g.
add_filter(
'the_content',
'my_weird_wp_trick',
999
);
function my_weird_wp_trick(
$content
) {
if ('espresso_events' == get_post_type()) {
$content = str_replace('Speakers', 'Presenters', $content);
}
return $content;
}
Please note: The above code doesn’t change the text within the editor, it changes the text on-the-fly when the post content is displayed.

That’s cool. Thank you!
I would rather bork on the database.
It’s a fetish and possibly confuses the half dozen event managers less.
but then again… the fun would be endless.
