    Hi guys,

    I’m not sure exactly what happened, but the bulk edit option disappeared from my CPT. I have over a hundred listings that I want to assign to a specific author, but it won’t let me unless I edit them one-by-one, apparently. Did something change with the way the CPTs are registered to disable bulk edit options?

    Thanks.

    You can do that faster via export -> edit -> import.

    Bulk edit options would break tags and categories.

    Thanks

    I’ve never had problems with tags and categories breaking. I’ve used bulk edit scores of times.

    And no, exporting 10,500 listings and sorting out the 100 that I need to edit is not easier, especially since I have to import it with Apple Numbers or Google Sheets so as not to break the encoding. I use the CSV import/export function frequently, and it’s way too involved for a simple task like this. This is what bulk edit is for.

    Sorry, we had to remove the bulk edit option (long ago) from the GD CPTs because it was creating far too many problems to other users, who were using it to change tags and categories with it. Also the author would be changed only in the WP tables and not in the GD tables using the bulk edit option, so that was not a good option either. You probably have listing with mixed info between the 2 db tables.

    Thanks

    Well, that sucks. Thank you for the explanation, though.
