Wordpress needs more bulk edit features - GoFuckYourself.com

I would love more bulk edit features in wordpress

I have like 60 links I need to change one thing on each, just setting them all so they open _blank when clicked

www.wordpress.org - why not make a suggestion to them?

laziness, and the fact that I make suggestions to software makers all the time and none ever listen, so I gave up on even trying

You can add the target tag in your themes files
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?> " target="_new"><?php the_title() ?></a></li>

If your talkin' links in the DB its easy enough to write something in Perl or PHP to access directly from the MySQL data

for the links in the sidebar?

Yup

Open sidebar.php
find the title line and make the change.

If you mean links added through Manage Links then that would be in the editor.
Theres an option there.

Sarah_Jayne · 07-15-2006, 08:03 AM

bulk delete of the links they put in by default would be nice

Lance69 · 07-15-2006, 10:48 AM

Or bulk change categories, etc...

CamsLord · 07-15-2006, 10:51 AM

i agree, i have same problem and clicking each link "Edit" is a pain in the ass

yes, the one added through the admin

and yes, I know there is an option there....but not for 60 links at once

hence, from the beginning again, I would love if it bulk edited

Do you hav PHPMyadmin installed.
Its actually very easy to do if so.

After log in select the DB
Click on wp_links table
Click Create PHP Code
The query would look like this:
UPDATE wp_links SET link_target='_blank' WHERE link_target='whatever is there now'

Click go
reload the table to see changes

Same could be done for link categories or any thing else.

This could also be done in Perl or PHP, not a plugin just a simple script

There are a few nifty tools for mass editing. One is Search and Replace; the others are Draft Control and Post control

Those all do post or drafts, nothing for links which is what Jace was asking for.
Search and Replace looks like a good place to start.
With some editing of the script could easily be made to do it
