# 1.3: Bulk Edit missing?

 * Ever since upgrading to 1.3, my CPT-onomy is not available in bulk edit. So I
   have a CPT called awards, and a CPT-onomy called award types. I have award types
   attached to awards (if I go to the edit page, I can see my award types in awards).
 * However, when I’m on the edit.php?post_type=awards page and select a bunch of
   awards and click edit under bulk actions, I can’t recategorize to different award
   types.
 * This was present before upgrading, no other plugins have been installed since
   then.
 * Any idea?
 * Thanks
 * **EDIT: Debugging through this…**
    I see you’ve registered bulk_quick-edit_custom_box
   as an action in admin.php
 * – my $column_name passed to the function is “taxonomy-award_type” (registered
   CPT is “award_type”)
 * – my $post_type passed to the function is “awards” (makes sense)
 * – It immediately fails at `if ( strpos( $column_name, CPT_ONOMIES_UNDERSCORE )!
   == false ) {` because there’s no “custom_post_type_onomies” in “taxonomy-award_type”
 * – I temporarily changed that to `if (true) {` to see what would happen
 * – the $taxonomy after `strtolower(str_replace())`.. came back out as “taxonomy-
   award_type”
 * – `taxonomy_exists("taxonomy-award_type")` == FALSE
    – `$cpt_onomies_manager-
   >is_registered_cpt_onomy( "taxonomy-award_type" )` == FALSE – This makes sense
   because it still has “taxonomy-” in the string
 * so I changed some code and it works, but I don’t know what else this will affect
   so I don’t want to do proceed until hearing back from you.
 * **Changed**
    `if ( strpos( $column_name, CPT_ONOMIES_UNDERSCORE ) !== false ){`
   to `if ( strpos( $column_name, "taxonomy-") !== false ) {`
 * **Changed**
    `$taxonomy = strtolower( str_replace( CPT_ONOMIES_UNDERSCORE . '_','',
   $column_name ) );` to `$taxonomy = strtolower( str_replace( "taxonomy-", '', 
   $column_name ) );`
 * and it shows up in the bulk edit, but it doesn’t actually appear to work. I tried
   to classify 26 posts, and none of them actually have the correct checkbox checked
   after doing so
 * Here is my action when clicking the update button in quick edit:

 * Based on ajax_save_bulk_edit in admin.php, since ‘custom_post_type_onomies_post_ids’
   and ‘custom_post_type_onomies_taxonomy’ is not set, I’m guessing it doesn’t save
   properly.

 * Thanks, murtrd, for all the work you’ve put into figuring this out. I’ve been,
   and still am, under the weather but I’ll start looking into this as soon as my
   head will allow me. 🙂
