Post 2.7 Upgrade – Bulk Edit Posts Issue

  • First off, I’m thrilled the Bulk Edit Posts feature is here…makes, well, bulk editing posts ever so much easier.

    HOWEVER.

    Today, I searched for a group of posts, and 13 were returned. In the Edit Bulk Posts frame I wanted to change the category for the entire group from the current category to a new category. I selected the checkbox for the new category, then clicked Update Posts.

    The posts did update, but the new category was added to the original category…so I now have two categories for the posts. I only want the new category.

    Is this a feature that is “working as designed” and if so, how do I get rid of the category I don’t want…short of going in and manually editing each individual post – which seems to defeat the purpose of the bulk edit feature.

    Thanks in advance!

  • An additional issue with bulk editing is that when you use the “All Posts” feature to add a category or tag or whatever you CAN do… you only get 15 posts and there are NO <<next | prev>> links to the next or previous 15 posts to bulk edit.

    Making All Posts useless, don’tcha think?

    Maybe there’s a way to go in with phpmyadmin and zap a table? The “remove posts” seems like it works for everything but “Uncategorized” which isn’t removable in the interface.

    Actually found this:

    …which did the trick for me!
