Anyone experienced with WP Custom fields wanna help me real quick?

I've been trying to figure this out, or rather why it is so hard to...

Simple thing, I need to search and replace a specific string for a custom field (or rather a blank custom field) out of a ton of wordpress posts.

Done this before, but I have searched high and low tried all the plugins. The best I have managed to do has been identify them in the posts table and using ctrl+f to find them and opening them individually (ridiculously time consuming). However if I try to inline edit with ACF or any other plugins that allow me to the text that appears is different. My understanding is that this custom field is a combination of several custom fields. I got the structure correct when setting it up, however still no inline edit.

It's a theme problem but the person who makes the theme is not understanding me, blame the language barrier maybe.

I don't like asking for help, but here I am.

If you think you can help post here and I'll pm you more info.

Thanks,

Oh if I posted this in the wrong place please lmk.

I'm a little rusty on wordpress development so please give me some grace if the info is a bit wrong lol, but sometimes you need to clear the cache to see the visual changes of your wordpress site. Best cache clearing plugin in my opinion is W3 Total Cache.

Hope this helps

I don't understand the specific situation you are facing. But I have experience with acf. If possible, send me the information and I will look into it for you.

Oh it's not a cache problem. I have caching disabled when I'm logged in.

Sending you a message. Appreciate it.

I understand the problem as follows:
You want to bulk update "texto":"Download" instead of the current "texto":"".

I got your PM! Thank you I'm about to give that a shot. I'll let you know how it works out!

change the way the custom field is being displayed, use the several custom fields you're referring to directly instead,
can't get the specific idea behind your request, it's not clear
