In one category on my WordPress site, I had 442 posts to change.
#TUMBLR MASS TAG EDITOR FULL#
If you put the posts in a category or add a tag by mistake, you will have to manually go through and change each individual post using the Quick Edit or full Edit options.Īnother limitation to the Bulk Edit is the number of posts you can change at any one time. Existing tags will not be changed and cannot be removed through Bulk Edit. Once you hit Update, the tags will be added to the post and the existing tags. If you choose to add tags, type the the words and phrases with a comma between them in the post tags box. There is currently no way to use the Bulk Edit feature to remove a post from a category, only to add categories. Be very certain about this as it will add the posts to that category, but not change any of the existing categories. If you choose to add a category, click the checkbox for the category you want all the selected posts to be in. This is also where you encounter your first set of limitations. It works the same as changing any of the options available on the Quick Edit feature, including adding tags, changing categories, etc.
#TUMBLR MASS TAG EDITOR HOW TO#
UPDATE: Before I get to the limitations, here is a quick video example of how to use the WordPress Bulk Edit feature for changing authors. Next are the rest, including post tags, author, comments, etc. Next to that are the categories to choose from. Starting with the left side, you can click X to remove any post you do not wish to change. This opens up the Bulk Edit option box for you to make changes. If you would like to narrow down the checked posts, either check them manually, or check them all and then uncheck the ones you do not wish to change using the bulk edit feature.įrom the options bar, choose Edit from the Bulk Actions drop down menu. To select them all, click the checkbox next to Title on the top row of the table of posts. On the left side of every post in the list is a checkbox. This will sort your posts by that category, narrowing down the number of posts to fix. On the drop down options bar of the Posts Panel, choose Categories and select the category you wish to work on from the drop down menu, then click Filter. To begin the process, narrow down the posts by category, grouping like content together. While it is fast and easy to use, it also has its limits. No need to go one by one through each to change it. The WordPress Bulk Edit feature is fantastic for changing the meta data for a lot of posts all at the same time. While this is amazing for a single post or two, I was changing hundreds and hundreds of posts. Quick Edit allows you to change the post title, slug, date, author, password, categories, post tags, comment status, ping status, published status, and turn post sticky on or off. This opens up a view of the meta data of your post, not the entire post for editing. You can quick edit any post from the Posts panel by hovering over the post and choosing the Quick Edit option. The result was that I was stuck with tons of posts with no tags.
Trust me, it’s a long story and I’ll save you from it for the moment. Moving around all the posts and upgrading meant losing all the tags on the posts. To begin with, I want to offer the following simple tip involving the powerful Bulk Editor feature in WordPress. Have I got a lot of lessons learned to share with you.

I recently went through a major upgrade for Taking Your Camera on the Road, one of the oldest websites in the world, on WordPress since 2003, and the testing grounds for some of the earliest WordPress Plugins and Themes.
