 * Hello, I’ve been using this plugin in the past, but this time there seems to 
   be an issue… it simply does not work, and I don’t know why 🙁

 * Yep, it’s broken for me as well. :-/ (WP v3.1.1 with plugin v1.0.0) Selecting
   the “Change Parent” option from the drop-down menu and clicking “Apply” only 
   seems to reload the page, no matter how many checkboxes are ticked. There’s no
   way to enter a new parent ID.

 * You can make it work by editing the plugin file as follows:
 * **change:**
    `( isset($_REQUEST['doaction']) || isset($_REQUEST['doaction2']))`
 * **to:**
    `( isset($_REQUEST['action']) || isset($_REQUEST['action2']) )`
 * I’ll leave a working copy (which also adds support for parent=0) [here](http://agapetry.net/downloads/bulk-change-attachment-parent_1.0.1.KB.zip)
   until the author incorporates these changes.
