Sometimes in Glow you want to edit some aspects multiple posts or pages. There are some tools in the Dashboard to help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This might be useful when you want to delete many posts, add tags or categories and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can bulk edit a selection of posts on the Posts Screen of the Dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select the posts you want to edit, or select all the ones on the page with the select all checkbox in the header of the posts table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Screenshot\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you have them selected you can change the bulk actions<\/strong> menu to Edit<\/strong> and Click Apply<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This opens a dialogue where you can edit all the posts at once:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Screenshot<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can change Comments Allowed, Status, Pings Allowed, and Sticky for a whole batch of posts. Categories and Tags can be added in bulk but you cannot delete a Category, or Tag you can remove Categories but not Tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have finished, you click Update<\/strong> which will make the changes and close the Bulk Edit dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a GIF of a simple edit, adding a tag to several posts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pages work in exactly the same way, except there are fewer choices. Perhaps the most useful would be to change the parents of pages to help with navigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus Tip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When working with multiple posts and pages, you can change the number of items on the screen in the screen options at the top of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Screenshot<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Expand that section and change Number of items per page<\/strong> to 200 (the maximum)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Screenshot<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And press Apply<\/strong>. You can now edit 200 posts or pages at once. This might take some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
