Hi,

I just had t switch servers and domains. I did what was suggested http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress here but nearly 80% of my posts have come thought ‘uncategorized’, by that I mean no links to any category.

How do I bulk edit these posts into a specified category? I can’t be expected to do it manually, can I?

Thanks

Has no one got a solution to this?

Thanks

My suspicion is the move wasn’t successful if the posts don’t have category. (Just a note: “uncategorized” is the default category of a new WP install, so your topic title is misleading!)

Did you make sure that you had the same WP version on both locations?

I have also just moved the host for my blog and at the same time upgraded from wordpress version 2 to the latest 2.3 (?)

All the posts now are in the category “Uncategorized”. I cant see where the category is set – e.g. there is no table called wp_category or no category column in the wp_posts table

Where is the category set?? How do I mass change the posts category??

Thanks
