categories - Wordpress: How do I remove the category "uncategorized" from all posts in bulk? -


scenario:

i have 1000 posts have "uncategorized" category, , want remove "uncategorized" of posts , set different category posts.

in other words– take uncategorized posts , move them category, in 1 fell swoop.

can in bulk without going through each post individually?

what looking wordpress bulk editor.

  1. go posts > categories > uncategorized

  2. click "screen options" tab in top right corner, change "number of items per page:" 1000. (if on slow server might consider doing less @ time)

  3. now select of items on page , click "bulk actions" drop-down above select , select "edit” option.

  4. hit apply

  5. in bulk editor click “new category” want change of posts , hit update.

once have added of posts “new category” need remove “uncategorized” category. this:

  1. go settings > writing
  2. now change “default post category” besides “uncategorized”
  3. go posts > categories , delete “uncategorized” category
  4. now can create “uncategorized” category again if , change default.

once delete “uncategorized” category remove of posts.

if have posts want remain in “uncategorized” create new category called “temp” , assign of posts want remain category. once delete “uncategorized” create again , assign posts in “temp” category.
