Easy Bulk Date Editor

ವಿವರಣೆ

Easy Bulk Date Editor is a lightweight WordPress admin plugin that allows editors and administrators to bulk edit post publication dates with precision and control.

The plugin was designed to avoid common performance pitfalls of bulk actions by loading posts incrementally and applying changes only to the selected rows.

Key Features

  • Bulk edit post publication dates
  • Shift dates forward or backward by days and/or hours
  • Filter posts before editing:
    • By category
    • By author
  • Paginated loading (25 posts per page) for improved database performance
  • Uses native WordPress date and time formats
  • Safe AJAX-based operations with nonce validation
  • No front-end impact — admin-only tool

How It Works

  1. Choose how you want to filter posts (by category or author)
  2. Load posts in manageable pages of 25 items
  3. Select the posts you want to edit
  4. Adjust individual dates or apply bulk shifts
  5. Save changes securely

Pagination ensures the plugin remains fast and reliable even on large sites with thousands of posts.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/
  2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress
  3. Navigate to the plugin page under the WordPress admin menu
  4. Start editing post dates

FAQ

Does this plugin edit posts across multiple pages at once?

No. Changes apply only to the posts loaded on the current page. This is intentional to prevent accidental bulk changes and ensure data safety.

Can I filter by both category and author at the same time?

Not at this time. You can choose one filter type (category or author) before loading posts.

Why is pagination limited to 25 posts?

To protect WordPress performance and avoid large, expensive database queries. This limit can be adjusted by developers if needed.

Does this plugin modify post content or metadata?

No. It only updates the post publication date fields.
