WordPress – Search Posts without YouTube Videos in the Content

Promoting your content is really important. And your WordPress blog is a great tool from which you can attract views for your channel. It is possible that you have already inserted videos in some of your posts, but there are many posts that do not have videos in your blog.

That represents a great opportunity to promote your content, and now we want to show you how to find all your posts without YouTube videos in their content. So you can quickly find and edit them.

It just takes these simple steps.

1- Install the “Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Types Spreadsheet” plugin

This plugin makes it easy for you. You can edit hundreds of posts or pages at once with its powerful Bulk Edit tool. Plus, you can do advanced searches in seconds.

Once installed and activated, you need to go to Sheet Editor > Edit Posts to open the spreadsheet.

2- Open the “Search” tool to filter your posts

Normally, if you want to know which of your posts have no video in their content, you would have to open them one by one. However, with the Search tool you can find hundreds of products quickly. It’s on the plugin’s toolbar, so just click on it.
