In this post, I have created a tutorial to bulk edit categories, author and status for posts, pages and custom post types in your WordPress blog. You can also bulk edit tags, allow or disallow comments, allow or disallow pings and make posts sticky for multiple posts at once.

1) Go to Posts –> All Posts.

2) Click on the pull down tab Screen Options.
