WP Bleg
September 7, 2005
Why, this renowned (but not self-proclaimed) WP “guru” needs help of his own. Anyone care to help? I want to move entire masses of posts from one category to another, because I’m about to delete quite a few categories in my taxonomy.
Better yet, a plugin that can do this painlessly would be bonerrific.
I’d advise PHPmyAdmin and some SQL search/replace. It can be done fairly easily that way. I’d give you the syntax if I knew it – but I’m one of those who has to research such things. Keep looking – someone has done it before and explained. (I hope I don’t need to mention that you should do a database backup first…).
I’ve used that method to clean spam trackbacks/comments for people who can’t run some plugins.
Here’s a plugin that I think is what you are looking for. I haven’t tried it out, so use it at your own risk. I hope this helps ya!
Hey that looks good on initial inspection! Thanks for the lead, Patrick. I’ll give it a look-see when I get the chance.
You’re welcome, man!
