Hello

I have import with API an old wordpress website. All is fine now. But when I edit some post I can see html code ans not the real characters :  
From  
`culture &#34;projets et accompagnement&#34;`  
To  
`"culture "projets et accompagnement"`

How I can force change it into all post ?  
rake posts:remap ? An existing regex ? An feature or plugin ?

Thank you if you have any idea.

There is definitely a rake task that will replace text in all posts, and also target only posts containing certain text so you don’t blindly process every post.
