 * The admin page for the bulk-delete plug-in loads but any action proceeds to load
   for a minute or two then produce a blank page with no apparent changes to the
   data. I tried a whole category, all private posts, and a whole category with 
   a limit of 1000, then 100, then 10 – always get no action performed and no output
   on screen.
 * This SQL method works pretty well but may not delete other plug-in metadata related
   to the specific posts: [http://www.tripwiremagazine.com/2010/06/how-to-effectively-bulk-delete-many-posts-in-wordpress.html](http://www.tripwiremagazine.com/2010/06/how-to-effectively-bulk-delete-many-posts-in-wordpress.html)

 * Luke, can you check your PHP error log and let me know if there are any error?
   Also let me know which version of PHP you are using.

 * I am having a lot of problems also, when I try to click the
    bulk delete link
   it the ‘options-general.php’ pops up asking if I want to save it. Perhaps I have
   too many pending? (21k)…..

 * Try out the latest version of the Plugin (1.2+). I have added some optimizations
   to handle huge number of posts on underpowered servers.
 * Try it out and let me know if you are still facing the same issue.
