## Description

Bulk post editing allows you to apply actions on a number of selected WordPress 
posts instead of doing it manually on each post
 which could be time consuming particularly
if you have a large amount of posts.

However, default bulk editor allows you just to add Categories to Posts.
 This plugin
extends default Bulk Editor so you can remove Categories from posts.

The plugin works with default Post type, Woocommerce products and any other Custom
Post Type. Supports multiple taxonomies per post.

This should be a native WordPress feature. How absurd.

This plugin is perfect if you have hundreds of post that you have imported via JSON
or CSV file, and they are all included in a category that you don’t want to (such
as uncategorized). You can select the bulk ==> edit ==> Remove from category. Very
simple but super functional.

It works perfectly and saves a lot of time, thank you! Like many others I think 
this feature should be a part of the wordpress core in the future!
