Probably won't help you now, nearly half a decade later, but maybe it will help someone else. Besides, OMG you're still using Wordpress... UPDATE POSTS set body=REPLACE(body,chr(10)+chr(13), chr(10)+chr(13)+chr(10)+chr(13)) I'm making a few assumptions here: POSTS is the name of the table containing blog posts; 'body' is the column containing the body text; and I'm also assuming MySQL handles linebreaks and carriage returns the same way MS does. Should be enough to Google your way to success from here. I don’t know much MySQL, but here’s a syntax that could work for MSSQL.

Back then I wanted to blog, but by wanting to I mean throw random stuff up on the internet, without much thought. a lot of my old posts need to simply be deleted.
