SQL Query to Get Posts Using Category Name
Sometimes SQL knowledge is critical for WordPress developers to run mass updates on your posts. In this post, we are sharing an example SQL query to get posts using a category name. This requires database access and some basic SQL knowledge.
To get all posts using a category name, run the following query on your WordPress database using phpMyAdmin or a similar tool.
Please note, that some WordPress installations may use a custom database table prefix other than just “wp_
” for security or multi-site reasons. In that case, you need to replace all wp_
prefixes with the correct prefix on your database.
