  Do you know of anything I can do to get the bulk editing working so I do not have to spend HOURS moving each post to a category 1 by 1? Each of my students is posting individually and it is a HUGE pain to edit each one. I searched and there was one question from a user about the same issue, but there was not an answer to why the bulk editing was not working.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You should be able to bulk edit your posts following the instructions here:

  Currently, it looks like that feature is working on my side. Is it not working for you?

  No, it does not work. When I click apply, it just clears the checks and then nothing. Any ideas?

  Hi,

  Can you try the following steps?

  1. Select the posts you want to edit by marking the box next to each post
  2. Under “Bulk Actions”, select “Edit” and click “Apply” as shown here:

  3. Select the appropriate category from the list that appears as shown here:

  4. Click “Update”

  The posts should be added to the designated category. To do this, please make sure you’re logged in to your current account (not one of the author accounts on your blog).

  Let me know if that doesn’t work!

  Those are the exact steps I normally use. I don’t know what you did, but when I just tried it, it worked. So, thank you until it happens again! :)
