 * Probably a dumb question but how do you bulk edit the posts

 * In the posts you should see a drop down defaulting to ‘bulk edits’, change it
   to edit and hit apply – you should then see options to edit the posts you selected.
   I’m having a problem with this plugin in bulk edit so be warned- I’m seeing 5‘
   Post Type’ drop downs, the 5th one is only one that makes a change and the post
   doesn’t move to new post type, and disappears from current one…I’ll be posting
   my issue in another post – just warning to test the bulk edit on a test post 
   first.

 * I’m on 1.5 and it doesn’t work in either bulk or quick edit – just on individual
   pages.
 * Incidentally I’m on a multisite install – surly this wouldn’t make a difference?
 * Thank you

 * Update: it appears that to convert a Page to a Post (in my case) requires a template
   to be set on the post before applying the quick update.
 * Most of the pages didn’t have templates assigned because they we’re imported 
   from another WordPress install.
