now select of items on page , click "bulk actions" drop-down above select , select "edit” option.
hit apply
in bulk editor click “new category” want change of posts , hit update.
once have added of posts “new category” need remove “uncategorized” category. this:
- go settings > writing
- now change “default post category” besides “uncategorized”
