  I want my older entries to be private and my newer entries to be public. I have three hundred older entries. Can I mark them en masse private?

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

  Hi there,

  Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We’re a bit behind in tickets, but we’re catching up! We do apologize.

  To answer your question, you can indeed bulk-edit any or all of your posts. You just need to log in to your Dashboard and then go to your Posts >> All Posts page. You’ll need to select all of the posts which you want to edit (or you can select all on any page by clicking the checkbox at the top of the screen next to the word “Title”).

  Next, open the drop down menu which says “Bulk Actions” and select Edit, then click Apply.

  You’ll get several options, but the one which you want is “Status.” Open that and change it from “No Change” to “Private.” This will change the status for all of the messages you’ve selected, no matter the status they currently are, over to Private. Click Update.

  You may have to do this a few times since you have so many posts, once for each page of posts, but you should be good! And clearly if you ever want to change it back, you can just reverse this process.

  Let me know if you have any questions!
