   I want to iterate through every $post (get the $post object), manipulate it, run add_post_meta() to save a change to it for every post/page/attachment (anything with a permalink really) on a blog.

   Is there any script out there already that loops through every asset in a blog?

   The key is every asset and getting the $post so that I could add_post_meta() and work with the contents.

   Am I really the only one trying to do this?

   Hi, I don't know where to put this question but I am encountering a problem on my site regarding add_post_meta() function. I don't know if it is just a coincidence or what but the permalink structure of the site always reset to its original setting whenever I execute add_post_meta() programmatically to add new item. Anyone can help me regarding this add_post_meta() and permalink problem.

   Thanks in advance.

   Regarding the OP if still looking an answer after 5 months...

   Something like this will query for all your published posts:

   $args = array(
       'numberposts' => -1
   );
   
   $posts_array = get_posts( $args );

   Then you can just make a custom loop to run through each post and do whatever you want with it:

   foreach( $post_array as $post ) {
       /* Code to poke at individual posts */
   }

   Here are the relavent codex pages:

   @telepisodes:
   It would be better to start a new topic since that really doesn't have much to do with the original question asked. For a question like that, I would ask in the How-To and Troubleshooting forum.
