[Tshwanelex-l] any way to automatically delete all empty nodes in entries?

[Malcolm MacLeod]

In the latest versions of the software you can also do.
1) Filter for the empty nodes
2) Click the advanced button in the filters
3) Filter element actions
4) Delete all matching nodes
As in previous advice make sure to backup before doing this just in
case.

> Yes, you can do this with Search & Replace Tool (Search across entry

> Leave Replace field empty and click Replace all.

> Optionally you can filter all entries with empty nodes (F5), and
> choose additional option Use filters in S&R (this should make
> replacement faster)
> This should work. Remember to backup your work before doing this.
