   Hi,

   I'm using wordpress version 2.7.1 with the Arthemia free theme. I have 2,000 'posts' (actually rss generated) which I need to delete from one category.

   When I view that category I can only apply ('bulk actions') delete to 15 posts at a time. Probably a basic solution to this, but how do I do a mass delete...or even change display settings to show more than 15 posts at a time?

   Thanks for any tips...

   Patrick

   Hi escmode,

   To change how many posts are displayed in Edit Posts, click "Screen Options" on the top-right of your screen. Posts per Page is an option on the menu that appears.

   Thanks for the reply... much appreciated.

   I don't see that in my version (2.7.1). In the 'Screen Options' in Edit Posts I only have options (check-box) to display: 'Author' 'Categories' 'Tags' 'Comments' and 'Date'

   Maybe this is only available with later versions? What version are you using?

   Cheers,
   Patrick-

   Click on "Screen Options" hidden in the upper right hand corner of the "Posts" page - difficult to see.

   I changed mine some time back and still missed it while checking for you -

   Hi - I use version 2.7.1 - I see 'Screen Options' in 'Posts' and 'Edit Posts' pages, but it's not available. I really don't want to update to 2.9.2 yet...

   Guess I'll have to spend a few days deleting them, 15 at a time :(

   Thanks anyway
