How To Bulk Edit Multiple Pages & Posts In WordPress

Recently i needed to change all the page templates on a new membership site i was working on as the default page template wasn’t displaying properly.

The site has over 70 pages so editing each one individually would probably have taken 1-2 hours if not more.

I knew i could use the quick edit links under each page but even that method needs to be completed one by one so i eventually worked out a faster way to do it.

You probably won’t need to use this very often but if you do, editing pages and posts using the bulk methods in this post will save you heaps of time.

        seriously, if I could go back in time and tell myself this, I could have saved 100s of hours editing wordpress pages 1 at a time.
