<p>This plugin applies all content filters to posts and comments and saves them back to the database. This is useful if you have been using Textile or Markdown (for example) and you want to switch to plain HTML.</p>
<h3>Notes</h3>
<p>USE THIS PLUGIN WITH CAUTION. If the results are not what you want, the damage will be irreparable unless you take the following precautions.</p>
<p>You should back up your database first — and be sure that you know how to restore from the backup!</p>
<p>If you are have plugins that allow you to use short codes — e.g. [thing] — you should deactivate them before running this conversion. Otherwise, that markup too will be converted to its HTML equivalent. (The built-in WordPress [gallery] tag should be fine.)</p>
<p>Once your conversion is complete, you should deactivate this plugin and reactivate your short code plugins.</p>

<p>Adding multiple categories in WordPress can be a real pain. When you want categories for every country in the world, it is a horrible job to fill out and submit the new category form hundreds of times, especially if you’re adding terms that have a hierarchy!</p>
<p>BulkPress makes this process much easier, by providing you with an easy-to-user interface to add categories (and terms of custom taxonomies) and pages/posts (and posts of custom post types) in bulk, giving you the option to specify a hierarchy in the added posts or terms.</p>
<p>BulkPress can spare you hours of your time, just try and find out for yourself!</p>
<h4>More to come…</h4>
<p>BulkPress will be updated with new functionalities very regularly. What to think of the following features coming to your WordPress installations soon…</p>
<ul>
<li>Mass add users</li>
<li>Specify attributes for the pages you’re creating in bulk, such as the page template</li>
<li>Promoting multiple users to a different role in one go</li>
<li>Much, much more…</li>
</ul>
<h4>Feature requests</h4>
<p>If you have any feature requests for this plugin to allow you to mass manage content more easily, just drop the suggestion in the forums!</p>

It does what it says. "It just works". Would be be great if we could add categories or tags to each post but that's fine.

Tested with Wordpress 5.8 and it works like a charm.

FANTASTIC!!

Add posts, pages, categories and custom post types and taxonomy terms in bulk! Managing vast amounts of content made a walk in the park!
