This plugin is dangerous. I had a large number of articles with two categories. I wanted to change an individual category on a selection of them. However it instead wiped all categories and replaced it with just the one I had selected.

This is probably how the plugin is intended to work, but the instructions are not clear at all, and there are many spelling problems in the English version, so you end up guessing your way around the plugin, and then wiping all the categories you had assigned.

I needed to assign thousands of uncategorized posts to the default category. They were posts without any category because of a mass importation from another CMS.

This pluging worked perfectly and I get the task done very quickly.

The plugin does what description says. I needed to remove a category from several posts and I did it very fast. Important to know that under menu “Aktion”, “Delete” means “To remove the category” not to delete de posts.

Thanks a lot for saving my time ??

This plugin makes it easy to add a category or update a category for posts. I used it to change the categories of hundreds of posts at once which is a real time saver!
Thanks for this handy tool.

Plugin works as expected. But interface is a bit confusing, and a bunch of items are not spelled correctly.

I used this plugin to assign categories to trips imported from Travelpod and it worked very well (latest WordPress 4.8.1).

As each trip had many posts, it would have taken hours to un-assign the default category from each post and assign the new category created for the trip.

Nice work.

Works flawlessly for bulk moving of categories of posts. Thanks a lot for this plugin, saved a ton of time.

It does a job that I’m surprised WordPress hasn’t included yet.

I’ll give it 5 Stars when they clean up a few things in the interface. For example, it’s confusing that the word “Delete” under “Aktion” (Action) is used instead of “Remove” because it makes one think the post will be actually deleted.

Just migrated a large joomla site and this plugin was able to do what the built in bulk editor cannot do: unassign post categories from large collections of posts.

So i am able to create new categories. Search and assign categories to large sets of posts. Then us this tool to unassign the “unassigned” or general “news” categories for these posts.

Thank you for this plugin, that saved me a lot of time to sort out all the categories mess I had.

I need to add a subcategory to all posts in a certain category. The plugin doesn’t show an error or give any feedback, but the subcategory just isn’t added.

works easily out of the box
would just appreciate a popup when clicking submit for changing posts’ category if you haven’t selected an action

Rating: 4 stars

Thanks for the nice plugin, it’s really useful.
But there are 2 problems:
1- You should be careful while using Update option. If you choose that by mistake, all other categories are deleted from selected posts – a bit dangerous option. Maybe adding a “Are you sure?” confirmation would be good.
2- After an action (add/update/delete) is made, filter data is deleted. If you want to continue with the same filter data, it’s not possible any more.

Does it work perfectly

Rating: 3 stars

for me it only did 800 posts in one go (add a category)
I had to move 9.000 pcs. pain in the butt.

Also: you also have to remove “no categories” with the plugin if you added a category to posts in that.

I did a huge maintenance on my posts organization, deleting categories, creating others…

I dodn’t know how I would have done without it !

Nice,

Now if this could work with ‘Moving Listings’ that would be fab!

medium sized site.
moved 2000+ post from one category into several categories.
No issues.
(yes I agree it could be tweaked with css (hence 4 stars)- why bother, admins only need it work and certainly does that.)
Thank you.

Does one thing and does it well! Could be prettier but it WORKS.

Need a way to sort categories out of Uncategorized from a lot of posts, most of them old. This plugin does that – without leaving the post in Uncategorized as well as the new category. Can’t do that yet with the WordPress category editor.

Would be nice if I could see which posts don’t have a category. Quite a few are missing a category. I find them, sometimes, when I’m looking at tagged posts. A bit luck of the draw.

This feature should be on the core WordPress site. Needed to remove a category for over 150 posts; it would’ve taken me forever without this app. Thank you so much!

Not sure how this “plugin” ever came through the approval. The repo contains an SQL folder with in it an sql file that seems completely unrelated to the plugin. Who knows what it does?

Plugin itself doesn’t work, never shows anything under the Posts in the Dashboard sidebar.

Uninstall and move on

I had to redesign a site that had over 1000 post and it was a mess. This plugin helped me move multiple post into the right categories with just a few clicks. What would have taken me two days to sort through only took me a couple hours.

Thanks much!

Thank you very much. you saved my day and many hours that could be wasted in just quick editing hundreds of posts categories.

If you want to get it to work with woocommerce:

1. In batchmove/batch_admin.php, comment out line:

if ($bm->cat == "") {return;}

2. in batchmove/include/functions.php
a) replace the whole ‘switch’ at line 21 with:

switch ($apost['act-cats']) {
	case "add":
		foreach ((array) $apost['ids'] as $id) {
			$id = intval($id);
			wp_set_post_terms($id, array(intval($cat)), 'product_cat',true);
		}
		break;
	case 'upd':
		foreach ((array) $apost['ids'] as $id) {
			$new = array();
			$new[] = intval($cat);
			wp_set_post_terms($id, (array) $new, 'product_cat');
		}
			break;
	case 'del':
		foreach ((array) $apost['ids'] as $id) {
			$id = intval($id);
			wp_remove_object_terms( $id, intval($cat), 'product_cat' );
		}
		break;
	default:
	;
} // switch

b) in function show_bm_selector:
replace the line

$html .= wp_dropdown_categories('hide_empty=0&hierarchical=1&echo=0&selected=' .
			( isset($_REQUEST['cat']) ? intval($_REQUEST['cat']) : -1 ));

with

$html .= wp_dropdown_categories('hide_empty=0&hierarchical=1&echo=0&taxonomy=product_cat&selected=' .
			( isset($_REQUEST['cat']) ? intval($_REQUEST['cat']) : -1 ));

c) in function show_bm_actions:
replace the line

$html .= wp_dropdown_categories('name=qcat&hide_empty=0&hierarchical=1&echo=0' );

with

$html .= wp_dropdown_categories('name=qcat&hide_empty=0&hierarchical=1&echo=0&taxonomy=product_cat' );

d) in function get_results
replace the line

$categories = wp_get_post_categories($post->ID);

with

$categories = wp_get_post_terms($post->ID,'product_cat');

e) in function get_a_query

Replace

$qa = array( 'paged' => $bm->paged,
	 			 'posts_per_page' => $bm->per_page,
				 'orderby' => $bm->orderby,
				 'order' => $bm->order);

with

$gets = $bm->get;
	$cat = (empty($gets['cat']))?$gets['qcat']:$gets['cat'];
	if ($cat) {
		$qa['cat'] = intval($cat);
	}
	$qa = array( 'paged' => $bm->paged,
	 			 'posts_per_page' => $bm->per_page,
				 'orderby' => $bm->orderby,
				 'order' => $bm->order,
				 'tax_query' => array(
					array(
						'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
						'field' => 'term_id',
						'terms' => intval($cat)
					)
				 )
		);

You should make a backup of the 2 files first. Good Luck!

New at taxonomies I had really screwed my category system up and needed to change. This plugin literally saved me days.
