Since I'm moving the blog to the root from a subfolder /blog/, I need to change the wp_posts guid field on all the posts. Example: http://mymarketingvp.net/blog/18-revision-5/ [This is from the current database.] Following the steps above, I entered this SQL statement: update wp_posts set guid = replace(guid, ‘net/blog/’, ‘net/’) ["net" is the end of the domain name *.net] I got the following error message: Error SQL query: UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace( guid, ‘net / blog / ’, ‘net / ’ ) MySQL said: #1054 - Unknown column '‘net' in 'field list' Notice how it added some spaces in the command. Same error when I remove the spaces. Any suggestions??? Thanks! I’m moving my blog to a new hosting company.

I use replace function very often. somehow I wish it had the capability to replace multiple values (different values) at once without having to nest them. This is pretty good.
