I am trying to: Change types field name in many views, template, layouts etc.

I changed the slug-name of a types field and have to modify many views, templates and layouts where the field is used.

For all post types i could change the postmeta-table in database - thats ok. But how could i easily 'find & replace" field-slug within all other sources?

Dear Mario,

If you changed the field slug, then you will need to change the Types/Views shortcodes to the new field slug manually, you also need to check the database table "wp_posts", column "post_content".

There isn't such a easy way to 'find & replace" field-slug within all other sources.
