[WordPress Tutorial] Bulk Edit Author Name,Categories and Tags

Sometime you do a little mistake which become a big problem as the time passes  and you find it difficult to make it good. I realized it  yesterday when I need to change the category for 126 already published posts.

Yes initially I thought that I have to do all the editing manually by opening each post but then I Googled about my problem and find a wonderful solution within our wonderful blogging platform WordPress.

Actually you don’t need any Plugin to do this, there is a great in-built functionality in WordPress to do this job in seconds.

.

As you can see in the image above with the Post>Edit >Bulk Edit Posts you can edit your posts author name, categories, tags,posts status,comment status to your heart out.

I know that most of you know this functionality of WordPress but this post will surely help those who need to fix something in bulk and wonder how to do it.

    Thanks for this post. I am having trouble with this as well, and have been putting it off because I thought I would have to do it manually for each post.
