    Hello,

    I would like to move to draft some 400 GD published posts.

    Since the WP bulk actions have been removed, how I could do it?

    I look forward to your reply.

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Best regards.

    Hi Jotomas,

    Thanks for your post. You can try exporting the listings then reimport it back with the changes. Let us know if it helps.

    Thanks!

    Hi Kor,

    Thank you very much for your response.

    I did it but there is a problem, apparently with Supreme Directory theme: the Featured Image disappears from the header and from loaded images but, strangely enough, appears in photos tab.

    I had to roll back to the backup made before the import.

    Any idea about to solve this issue?

    I look forward to your reply.

    Thank you very much once again for your help.

    Best regards.

    Did you change any other data on the sheet? Like the publish date?

    What should we do to recreate the issue?

    Can you share the URL for the listing that has the issue?

    Hi Alex,

    Thank you very much for your response.

    I have changed only the Post status to draft of all the 300 something posts.

    Following the instructions here https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/ what I did was:

    1) Exported CSV of gd_place listings.
    2) Opened CSV with Open Office UTF-8, comma as separator, double quote as delimiter.
    3) Replaced all “publish” with “draft” in the post status column.
    4) Save CSV.
    5) Import in GD.

    I have tried a couple of posts, both them had the issue. The featured image shows in photo tab in the frontend, but does not show in the header of the listing detail page, neither in the featured image and uploaded images section in the right column of the backend.

    Then I assumed all the 300 something posts had the issue and I reverted the site to its backup. Therefore, the issue is not visible.

    I look forward to your reply.

    Thank you very much once again for your help.

    Best regards.

    Hi Alex,

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    Ooooops! I could not imagine that I had to publish the post to set the header image! I was always checking the draft preview! Sorry for not thinking about.

    Thank you very much once again for your help.

    Best regards.
