    Starting sometime today May 17, 2023, the Bulk Editor (classic view) stopped displaying check boxes and as such I can’t perform any actions in bulk. Any idea what might have happened?

    Hey there,

    Thanks so much for reaching out about this issue! There is currently a bug causing those check boxes to disappear, so it’s not just you! Our developers are already working on a solution internally. I’m not able to estimate an exact timeline on that fix, but as this does indeed prevent users like yourself from performing any actions in bulk, it has been escalated to our team for a rapid response, so I expect there should be improvement soon!

    While checking on that bug on your site, I noticed your incredible catalog of historic archives! (I can see why bulk edit might come in handy!) Have you ever thought about registering a custom domain for your site? Setting up your site with a custom domain is a great way to make your site more recognizable and memorable, building your brand and credibility with regular visitors and an expanding readership.

    With the purchase of an annual Personal plan, you’d also receive a free domain credit to use for the first year of any domain you wanted to register, as well as additional features like the removal of WordPress.com Ads, 24/7 access to direct support from our team via email, and additional supported content, like the ability to embed Audio files into your site. Just something to consider if you’re interested in expanding your site in any way!

    I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any follow up questions we can answer, and be on the look out for improvement on the Bulk Edit check boxes this week. We’re also happy to provide you with any updates here if you’d like to check back in.
