Bulk Edit – Broken Cannot manage Products

    WP core issues “bulk edit”.

    Managing products in categories

    Quick edit shows you the category your in, allows you to change where you want the product to go. Perfect.

    Bulk edit, FAILS to show what category your in, so you cannot unmark it.

    That is the break.

    Shopperpress developer said this is core issue of WP -if it is WP issue how do we get this error acknowledged??

    Hosting comopany – Reloaded fresh WP core files and changed php 5.3 to 5.2.17, and bulk edit is broken.

    I am at tech support dead in, not being able to bulk edit a 10,000 item store is crippling.

    Any ideas?

    This error can be easily replicated, others have done so, and its broken on their own servers too, so its not my environment.

    HELP, where to turn to next? Im in need to change thousands of products and doing 1 at a time is painful.

    Mr. SeaCoast.

    Thank you for taking the time. You appear to have my error too.

    Note, there are NO category checked. Unless, your cat list scrolls beyond the shot you shared.

    When you slected those items, they do not show their category with box marked in BULK EDIT , if you quick edit, you will see the single item shows its category box marked.

    Bulk edit—> NOT and that is my problem.

    Look quick edit, see category box marked? Repeat in Bulk edit? Nothing checked I bet.

    Look #8 area on your image, no category marked, do quick edit, it will be checked, note your image it has NO checks

    It works…I can add no more to this discussion..

    Ok I will….use the filters…filter by existing category first then select the new category – that is how it works…

    Mr. Seacoast, can you re-snap a screen shot and scroll down #8 area of your image so I can see a category check marked. You have already done this screen shot, just one more clarification and you then have done all you can do.

    Your screen shot shows the break as it appears on the first go around.
    Are there other categories the #8 area on your image is not showing?

    Please scroll down your #8 area so I can see checkmark, and screen shoot that please.

    Look forward to your response. Your next image is the ball game and I may just have found my solution! THANK YOU Mr. SeaCoast. I’m hopeful and excited.

    See my note above about using the filters…

    All my bulk editing is via category filtering because when importing products from affiliate site, stray items get pulled in and need to be moved.

    Your second image, is correct, the difference is I cannot get my filtering category to show a checkmark, so therefore I cannot remove the checkmark.

    I know shopperpress product is NOT problem, I write a blog and I used the bulk edit for my basic wordpress blog and bulk edit is broken for my posts in the same way bulk edit is broken on my store products.

    2 different WP applications….but on same server, same PHP version, same WP core files.

    Can you fix me Mr. SeaCoast? What do you recommend, and how can this problem extend to both my WP applications not related??

    You are making an improper assumption…You will not see a check mark there in the bulk editor until you check something…

    In the second image, I filtered by category and added the check mark – this would effectively change the category on the selected and filtered posts upon update…

    There is no default check mark (as shown in first image) in bulk edit. Use the filter(s)…

    I do not understand why this is still an issue…it works…

    Mr SeaCoast, thank you for admitting you added the mark, and THANK YOU for admitting there was no mark on the bulk edit.

    You have confirmed my point of view It is broken. I am back to where I was, and I have lost hope once again.

    Let me challenge your expertise-

    If I have 500 items in a category called dogs, and want to bulk edit and move them to a new category called cats. How would I do this using bulk edit?

    Why can I do this change in QUICK EDIT or regular singular edit? Why would these tools show me the current category and NOT bulk edit? There is not continuity between the features of QUICK EDIT and BULK EDIT.

    So, how do you propose I batch change 500 products if WP is operating correctly and bulk edit is NOT broken in your point of view?

    You at some point will have to fall on your sword and agree with me, there is a disconnect here between single editing and bulk editing.

    Lee – Please have a nice day – All works as designed and I have no more time to discuss this with you…good luck…

    @leenoga Not sure if it helps you but I have the same problem. I put a message on the mailing list, will get back if I get a reply. I think that guy is winding you up. ??

    @madhag – what “guy” are you referring to?

    Lol, do the math.

    What math – SeaCoast offered perfectly valid advice – sounds like you need to ask these questions on the shopperpress forums.
