  I have published blogs for several years now. How can I change the visibility to “draft” for all my posts all at once?

  Howdy maudootwijn!

  The best method for you to accomplish this is by going to http://maudoortwijn.com/wp-admin, going to posts, and following the directions provided here. To summarize it for you:

  1. Go to http://maudoortwijn.com/wp-admin and login (if you haven’t already)
  2. Click on Posts
  3. Click the box to the left of ‘Title’ to select all posts.
  4. Click on ‘Bulk Actions’ → ‘Edit’ → ‘Apply’
  5. Find the Status section and click ‘—No Change—’ → ‘Draft’
  6. Hit ‘Update’

  If you encounter any problems, let me know. The link I provided should depict the method well for you.
