Bulk update (change) author in wordpress posts
I needed to update all posts in a certain CATEGORY. The update involved changing the author name for each of those posts. Here is what I had to do to bulk edit the name of the author on all the posts at one shot.
- Go to Admin->Posts->All Posts. Apply the Category Filter – and filter for the category that you are interested in.
- Click the box next to ‘Title’ above the posts listing to select all Posts on the page.
- Change the ‘Bulk Actions’ selection to ‘Edit’.
- Click ‘Apply’.
- In the ‘Bulk Edit’ panel that appears, select the new Author from the dropdown list.
- Click ‘Update’.
