Another user in need of “bulk remove category” checking in. I want to get rid of “Uncategorized”, which is what happens when I mobile blog. It’s great that I can come home and ADD categories in a bulk manner, but it won’t let me REMOVE the “uncategorized” category in a bulk manner.

When in the Edit Posts screen, I check the boxes next to the posts I wish to apply the Bulk Action “Edit”. A scroll box with the Categories appears.

If I only have ONE post selected, the current Categories for that post have a check mark in the box next to them in the scroll box. But if I have MORE than one post selected, none of the categories are checked. Therefore there is no opportunity to “uncheck” them, and this leaves us with only one option – edit each post individually, one at a time, to remove “uncategorized”.

This is unfortunate when I’ve been sight seeing all day and I’ve sent upwards of 25+ mobile posts to the blog.

I’ve since changed my default category from “uncategorized” to something I won’t mind having there forever, but really, there should be a way provided to bulk remove a category. Blogger can do it, why can’t WordPress?

Thanks for listening,
