   I have been having a problem downloading multiple draft posts in the Edit Posts screen for some time now.

   Recently upgraded to 2.8.5, but the problem has existed at least 3-4 revisions prior and just continued.

   Problem: I cannot multi-select Draft posts in Edit Posts screen and bulk Delete them. When I attempt to, I get a blank white screen and the posts are not deleted. Refreshing the page just indicates "Error in deleting...".

   I can delete individual posts using the "Delete" text link beneath the post - this has never been a problem.

   Most of the posts are auto-fed via WP-o-Matic and are defaulted into Draft mode for me to review before editing & publishing. I don't think the fact I am using WP-o-Matic is the problem, but mentioning just in case.

   Anyone w/ similar issues?
   How do I get WP to delete multiple Draft posts?

   Thanks in advance for any info/help to resolve.

   Have you tried:

   - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

   - switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?

   - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
