Want to <strong>power edit your categories<\/strong> in a flash? Still editing category allocation to each blog post manually? I found this lesser known amazing wordpress plugin called Batch Categories that will <strong>sort out your WordPress categories<\/strong> in bulk instantly. This WordPress plugin lets you <strong>batch edit categories<\/strong> that is, assign multiple posts to a category, or delete multiple posts from a category, in one quick go.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Installation<\/strong> is easy. Simply upload the batch-categories folder to your wp-content\/plugins folder, activate the plugin in the admin panel, and that&#8217;s it. The administration screen itself is at Manage &gt; Batch Categories. They strongly recommend you <em>back up your wp_post2cat table<\/em> before doing anything rash with this plugin.<\/p>\n<p>I have been looking for such a plugin ever since I switched from Blogger to WordPress. Though the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2006\/03\/import-blogger-posts-comments-to-wordpress\/\">blogger import was easy<\/a>, I was left with hundreds of posts in the <strong>uncategorized \/ miscellaneous category<\/strong> and had to manually go through each post to allot a category. This would have been easy had I found batch categories before.<\/p>\n<p>Even now when I create <strong>a new category<\/strong> and need to allot that category to multiple posts, I need to do it manually. This plugin will do that job in seconds. Truly amazing! I wonder why it is not incorporated in WordPress by default. Maybe I should suggest this.<\/p>\n<p>See more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wordpress-plugins\/\">WordPress plugins I use<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong> WP-Cats is another WordPress plugin that aids in mass category management. WP-Cats augments the Manage Posts screen with Ajax controls that allow two-click adding and single-click removing of categories from individual posts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the latest wordpress plugin I am playing with.
