I had a large number of articles with two categories. I wanted to change an individual category on a selection of them. However it instead wiped all categories and replaced it with just the one I had selected. This is probably how the plugin is intended to work, but the instructions are not clear at all, and there are many spelling problems in the English version, so you end up guessing your way around the plugin, and then wiping all the categories you had assigned. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0d392c790840eb67a61663854f0e5c8e53e1eb5d53e6f64078dd35b40f697abd? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[It worked perfectly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-worked-perfectly-6/)󠁿 [Xaifu](https://profiles.wordpress.org/xaifu/) January 31, 2018 I needed to assign thousands of uncategorized posts to the default category. They were posts without any category because of a mass importation from another CMS. This pluging worked perfectly and I get the task done very quickly. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/58336e54e310c03a33f73b0403b3b5e0b2dc24f4c429e84298cb6ccabfae6b7d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect!! It works 🙂](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-it-works-2/)󠁿 [romiri](https://profiles.wordpress.org/romiri/) November 27, 2017 The plugin does what description says. I needed to remove a category from several posts and I did it very fast. Important to know that under menu “Aktion”, “Delete” means “To remove the category” not to delete de posts. Thanks a lot for saving my time 🙂 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7b582b8b89c1f4c5f38cc847c03a642b442142e267d480c1f5e6cf2880613a2e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Super Useful Tool](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/super-useful-tool-2/)󠁿 [pecktron2000](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pecktron2000/) September 26, 2017 This plugin makes it easy to add a category or update a category for posts. I used it to change the categories of hundreds of posts at once which is a real time saver! Thanks for this handy tool. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5e4d94f98330d8f1a0d60b83b855798f0ed52bfb2187da32ef361426c1e4d1f5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Work’s as expected](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-as-expected-324/)󠁿 [dbp](https://profiles.wordpress.org/optimus203/) September 3, 2017 Plugin works as expected. But interface is a bit confusing, and a bunch of items are not spelled correctly. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/012321b4e78bc5b888bbd74c4e4b2922e7f77e907889bce8a2e74a23692c408a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works well](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-well-1147/)󠁿 [Simon](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sdellenb/) September 1, 2017 I used this plugin to assign categories to trips imported from Travelpod and it worked very well (latest Wordpress 4.8.1). As each trip had many posts, it would have taken hours to un-assign the default category from each post and assign the new category created for the trip.
