Is it possible to move select posts from one category to another?
Right now you can move all the posts from a certain category to another. You cannot move them selectively.
I’m trying to use your Bulk Move plugin to move 1200+ posts from “uncategorized” to a new category. It does around 30-40 and then fails with a 500 error. I can go back and run it again, another 30-40 will be moved and then another 500 error. Suggestions?
Either PHP times out or the memory limit is reached since the number of posts is very high.
Increase the timeout and memory limit and try again.
Hi, I need to move all my posts from one category to another one so I tried your plugin, but it seems it doesnt work: when I go to the Bulk move admin page I can see only one category in the left dropdown and no one in the right dropdown. In the right dropdown I can only see the “remove category” choice.
Can you hekl me please?
I have wordpress 3.0.0.
TIA
What is the version of PHP that you are using?
Dear
If i move a post to another category when my post url contains category name, wht will happen for the old url of that post?
is it seo friendly? will the old post url redirect to the new post url?
It will not auto redirect the old url. You have to explicitly set the redirect rules yourself.
