<p><strong>Bulk Content Toolkit</strong> adds any custom meta field to the native WordPress Quick Edit row and Bulk Edit panel — automatically, without writing a single line of code.</p>
<p>Most bulk edit plugins hardcode which fields they support. Bulk Content Toolkit reads your actual database and exposes every meta field that exists on your site, regardless of which plugin created it.</p>
<p><strong>How it works</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Go to <strong>Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Bulk Edit</strong>.</li>
<li>Pick a post type (products, courses, pages, custom types…).</li>
<li>Move the fields you want into the “Selected Fields” column.</li>
<li>Save — those fields now appear in <strong>Quick Edit</strong> and <strong>Bulk Edit</strong> inside the native WordPress UI.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Works with everything</strong></p>
<p>Because the plugin reads directly from wp_postmeta, it works with any field from any plugin — without any integration code:</p>
<ul>
<li>WooCommerce: _price, _sale_price, _stock_status, _manage_stock, _tax_status, and all product meta</li>
<li>LearnPress: _lp_price, _lp_coming_soon, _lp_max_students, _lp_passing_condition, and all course meta</li>
<li>ACF (Advanced Custom Fields): any field saved to post meta</li>
<li>Elementor, WPML, Yoast SEO, and any other plugin that writes to wp_postmeta</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Automatic field type detection</strong></p>
<p>The plugin samples your existing data and infers the correct input type — checkbox, select, number, date, color, URL, textarea, and more. Common WooCommerce and LearnPress fields are hardcoded to their correct type.</p>
<p><strong>100% native</strong></p>
<p>No new UI to learn. No external spreadsheet. No CSV. Fields appear in Quick Edit and Bulk Edit exactly where WordPress users already expect them.</p>
