XF 1.4 Remove Smiley -> the code is left in posts. How to remove?

[markku]

If I have a custom smiley with code :customsmiley: and then delete the smiley from the ACP, posts will still include the custom code :customsmiley:.

Is running a MySQL query the only proper solution to get rid of the :customsmiley: references then?

Can someone offer me a query to run? For forum posts / profile posts / conversations / resources (resource manager)...

Thanks!

This will do it for posts:

UPDATE xf_post SET message = REPLACE(message,'current_content','new_content');

You will have to perform a similar query for all other content types.

Take a backup first.
