Hi.
Please, do a favour to people,and people’s time.
IN THE TITLE, and in description, write, that this plugin is obsolete (not just a bolded sentence under the description), but completely remove this plugin from repository too, and in readme/description, tell, that we should use “BulkPress…”, as i have wasted many time installing and testing this plugin, and have suddenly viewed the message that this plugin is obsolete.
so, think from peoples view, and do a good job to people. and remove this completely.

Hi WPE-Bulk Categories users!

Just a quick notice: I’ve released a new plugin called “BulkPress” which replaces the WPEssence Bulk Categories plugin. It offers new functionality for adding other content besides terms in bulk, such as posts and pages.

You can find the plugin here: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/bulkpress/

The BulkPress plugin does offer the functionality that the Bulk Categories plugin offers, but it will continue to expand whilst there will be no further development on the WPEssence Bulk Categories plugin.

under posts it shows every thing I added with the bulk tool. When I check my cats under the classifieds side tab they do not show up. Also they are not live on my page. What am I doing wrong?

Hi there.

Thank you, thank you and thank you for a superb plugin which makes it SO much easier to add categories in bulk. You’ve saved thousands if not millions of tedious man hours inserting this data one by one!

I was just wondering if you’d consider tweaking the code to permit the editing of categories as well as inserting?

It would be great if your plugin populated the textareas with the existing data, which could then be edited (new terms added, amended, deleted or re-ordered) and then saved.

You’ve already so skilfully coded an amazing backbone, and hopefully, it wouldn’t require too much extra code to achieve the above, but it woud boost it’s usefulness manyfold!

Also, it would be perfect to add the description field too, for those who would use it, just as the WordPress default is. Some of us actually do use descriptions, and so it would be ideal for all the thousands of users that will use your plugin to have the option there and potentially not need it, than to need it and not have it.

I hope you don’t take any of the above as a criticism, I just think your plugin is Fantastic, but it has a lot more potential that I think could make it hugely more powerful, whilst requiring (relatively) little additional code.

Anyway, thanks again!

Hi,

I’m getting an undefined index error while I have WP_DEBUG on. The plugin seems to be working, I’m not sure what this is saying is it something I need to worry about?

Undefined index: on in /wp-content/plugins/wpessence-bulk-categories/includes/class.BulkCategories_Admin.php on line 108

I just wanted to write a message to say that this is an amazing plugin.

I was just about to face typing in a full list of countries, each as a separate category. 205 of them all together.

I just did that in less than 5 seconds with this plugin.

Thank you.

I use title to tag plugin which added over 10K tags.
Can you imagine how long will this take me to delete them page by page ??
I update list of tags to exclude all the time, but all those allready added should be removed right?…

I’t would be great to delete them all with bulk.

Just a thought
Cheers

Hi,

Great plugin!

I was actually looking for solution to import navigation menu structure from man site to subsites, since I use many subsites and the nav menus are big with manually created links, so it a lot of work for each site.

However, I found menu exporter but there is no plugin for menu import, so I believe many of us would appreciate this option.

Cheers!

Hi,

I wanted to use your plugin for some custom taxnomies that I need to insert in bulk. I don’t know if I’m the only one that would like this ability, but it could be a good future improvement to allow one to bulk import to custom taxonomies that have been registered.

Hi,

Is there currently a way to also import category descriptions and category icons? Since your plugin also works with custom category taxonomies, it would be great if you created a way to populate all category fields during an import.

Is this something you might consider adding in the near future?

Thanks!

The plugin has a hardcoded path to wp-content in the load.php. It does not work when you rename wp-content.

I’ve used your plugin with great results!

Wondered if you can extend the plugin to work with BuddyPress Groups.

Basically, I’d like to be able to create a separate BuddyPress group for each WP category. The BuddyPress Group Organizer and BuddyPress Group Hierarchy plugins allow for nested groups and extending your plugin would allow one to quickly import the nested groups the same way you have it importing categories.

Ideally, someone will write a plugin that will connect WP categories to BP groups so that they are tied together and can be added/edited/deleted in one shot but until then, your plugin could allow for quickly creating hierarchical groups.

Possible?

Just realized that while I can still add items, I am unable to reorganize any menus when this plugin is activated. I suppose I only need to activate to import the categories unless there is a reason to keep it activated?

Still thought the bug was worth mentioning…

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wpessence-bulk-categories/

Just downloaded this plugin and used it to import 300+ sub-sub-categories from excel. It did the job and I can see the categories and sub-categories in Word Press. The issue is I now want to make these categories into some kind of usable menu on the front end.

A couple of issues with this:

1. You cannot use the “select all” feature to select all of the new categories to turn them into a menu, without first deactivating the plugin. I was able to use the “select all” feature to create a menu once I deactivated….however, the sub-category heirarchy is not maintained in creating the menu. Ideally that should be built into this plugin. Is there another way to get the sub-categories into a menu?

2. The goal is to get all 300+ sub categories (5 levels deep max) to an easy to navigate menu on the front end. I thought I could do this by building a menu out of the bulk imported categories, which do maintain the heirarchy in the category view on the CMS side, but I cannot figure out how to easily get the heirarchy into a usable menu.

Any ideas?

The plugin works as described but I had to deactivate it after use in order to be able to use APPEARANCE > MENUS in order to use the mouse to move MENU ITEMS around to define parent/sibling hierarchy. Hopefully it’s something easily fixed.

It would be very usefull also to add in the edit section, bigger pannel to select the categoryes like mac finder, were you select the parent category, and on the next column appears all the childs, and so on.
