Bulk editing pages, posts, tags, publishing status, templates and other elements in WordPress can save you a bunch\u00a0of time.<\/p>\n

Luckily, it’s easy to do \u2013 though it’s not immediately obvious exactly how if you’ve never done it before.<\/p>\n

In today’s Weekend WordPress Project I’ll show you\u00a0how to quickly bulk edit in the backend of WordPress.<\/p>\n

Displaying All Posts or Pages in the List<\/h2>\n

It’s much easier to bulk edit your posts or pages when you are able to display all or most of them on their respective lists.<\/p>\n

By default, you can only display 20 items per page and you need to click through multiple pages to see all your posts.<\/p>\n

Having to page through and edit page after page of content is not only tedious, but a time waster. Luckily, there’s an easier way.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To increase the number of items\u00a0that are shown on the page, click the Screen Options<\/strong> tab at the top, right-hand side of the page underneath the “Howdy” greeting.<\/p>\n

\"The
You can enter almost any number of items to display per page, but the maximum is 999.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Enter in a number in the input field next to the Pages<\/strong> label and click Apply<\/strong>. The page will reload and most (if not all) your pages or posts will be listed.<\/p>\n

You can also do the same for your Users<\/strong> page to list more of your site’s members on that page.<\/p>\n

Bulk Editing Elements<\/h2>\n

To bulk edit posts or pages, click the Title<\/strong> check box to select all the items on the list or otherwise check the individual posts or pages you would like to edit.<\/p>\n

Click the Bulk Actions<\/strong> drop down toward the top of the page and select Edit<\/strong>, followed by pressing the Apply<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n

\"The
You can also bulk delete posts, pages or users with this method as well.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An editing area will open underneath the drop down box revealing the elements you can edit for the content you selected.<\/p>\n

\"The
A similar section will open for posts as well where you can edit relevant elements.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Once you’re done making all the selections you’d like, click the Update<\/strong> button to instantly apply all your changes. Once the page reloads, you’re done.<\/p>\n
