Help! I recently started self hosting with Wordpress. My categories got all messed up–most are uncategorized now and when i did the tag switch–it got rid of the categories. SO I downloaded this plug in and activated it. I go to manage–>batch categories and Filter the tags i want to see. Then i select the category (all my categories are still listed–just not on individ. posts) i want and hit ‘Add.’ Then it brings me to a screen saying: “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.” Pls help! I have alot of posts to fix and this would be a life saver!
Thanks!!

It’s a nice option to have. I tend towards doing stuff like this through MySql backend, but I’m always a little nervous about messing things up. Should help me sleep better.

My normal trick is to change the default category to the one I want the posts to end up in, delete the post’s category, and then restore my original default category.

I have worked my way through dozens of posts at a time making changes; not fun. This is a great find.

I deleted 1700 posts from a blog the other day, all from the same category. I was going to do it 20 at a time, which was painful, then I spent a while figuring out how to do it in the database with MySQL, which worked out nicely in the end. This would have made it much easier though! I think I’m going to get this for my blogs now, just in case I have to do something like that again!
