Bulk Edit Migrated Blog Posts in WordPress
After a Blog Porter migration, use WordPress bulk editing to make the same finishing change across several posts without opening each one.
1. Access your posts
- Go to Posts → All Posts.
- Use the date, category, or author filters to narrow the list.
- Adjust Screen Options if you want to show more posts per page or display additional columns.
2. Select and edit posts
- Select the posts you want to update, or use the header checkbox to select the visible posts.
- Choose Edit from Bulk actions and select Apply.
- Choose the changes you need, then select Update.
What WordPress can change in bulk
- Add categories or tags to the selected posts.
- Change author or publication status.
- Allow or disable comments and pings.
- Make posts sticky.
WordPress bulk edit adds categories and tags; it does not remove them from the selected posts. To remove a category or tag, edit the relevant post individually or use a workflow designed for that specific clean-up.
Before making a broad change, review a representative sample of your migrated posts and categories first.
