How to Delete 2,000 Posts ?

    Hi,

    I’m using wordpress version 2.7.1 with the Arthemia free theme. I have 2,000 ‘posts’ (actually rss generated) which I need to delete from one category.

    When I view that category I can only apply (‘bulk actions’) delete to 15 posts at a time. Probably a basic solution to this, but how do I do a mass delete…or even change display settings to show more than 15 posts at a time?

    Thanks for any tips…

    Patrick

    Hi escmode,

    To change how many posts are displayed in Edit Posts, click “Screen Options” on the top-right of your screen. Posts per Page is an option on the menu that appears.

    Thanks for the reply… much appreciated.

    I don’t see that in my version (2.7.1). In the ‘Screen Options’ in Edit Posts I only have options (check-box) to display: ‘Author’ ‘Categories’ ‘Tags’ ‘Comments’ and ‘Date’

    Maybe this is only available with later versions? What version are you using?

    Cheers,

    Click on “Screen Options” hidden in the upper right hand corner of the “Posts” page – difficult to see.

    I changed mine some time back and still missed it while checking for you –

    Hi – I use version 2.7.1 – I see ‘Screen Options’ in ‘Posts’ and ‘Edit Posts’ pages, but it’s not available. I really don’t want to update to 2.9.2 yet…

    Guess I’ll have to spend a few days deleting them, 15 at a time 🙁

    Thanks anyway
