<p>Through Custom Bulk/Quick Edit, you have the option to edit post meta via text, checkbox, radio, select, and textarea inputs within Bulk Edit and Quick Edit screens. Further, you can enable editing of category and tag taxonomies that don’t show up already. Next, taxnomony, checkbox, radio, and select fields have an option to be reset, as in remove current options during Bulk Editing. This is very helpful when you want to mass reset or remove information.</p>

<h3>Background</h3>
<p>This plugin grew out of the frustration of having to custom write this code for every client. It works best when the custom post types have already added columns to the edit screen via the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/manage_$post_type_posts_columns" rel="nofollow ugc">manage_{$post_type}_posts_columns</a> filter.</p>

<p>You can translate this plugin into your own language if it’s not done so already. The localization file <code>custom-bulkquick-edit.pot</code> can be found in the <code>languages</code> folder of this plugin.

Custom Bulk/Quick Edit

The free version is useless (no support for custom fields or custom post types). Theoretical features that seem to exist don't work (enabling editing post excerpts via Quick Edit does nothing for me in WP 4.9.8). The plugin description is poorly written so it's hard to know what you're actually getting before you install. Turns out the answer is: nothing (except obtrusive "Donate" buttons, a little tacky for a plugin trying to upsell you).

Ugly, confusing, features don't work, free version does nothing

Custom Bulk/Quick Edit allows you to easily add custom fields to the edit screen bulk and quick edit panels.
